The diels-alder reaction between furan and maleic anhydride took a couple of days to goto completion while the adduct between á-terpinene and maleic anhydride formed withinminutes. what factor may have contributed to the low reactivity between furan andmaleic anhydride?

Answer and Explanation:

In the Diels Alder reaction there is an overlap between the HOMO and the LUMO which is thermally allowed to happen. The endo components are usually more favored due to the orbital interaction. The so called transition state for exo component is much higher in the energy than transition state in endo component. Therefore the endo product tends to have low activation energy and thus it tends to form faster.

sumerians were polytheistic, meaning they believed in many different gods. so, the best answer is c.

the language of nature was a manifestation from god as he said "let there be light" and there was light the world began to assume visible, comprehensible form.

what ever we know now think of the old vision of creation we can be sure that with out the speaking of word -without language- we would have no science today with its striking power to illuminate the world.
