As far as anyone knows the oxygen, as the most basic site of the ether, $R-O-R$, is protonated by an acid, $HX$, to give $R-O^(+)H-R$ and $X^(-)$. This weakens the...
1 Answers 1 viewsAcetyl chloride, $H_3C-C(=O)Cl$, has a $Cl^-$ leaving group. Acetic acid, $H_3C-C(=O)OH$, has an $HO^-$ leaving group. Of course, hydroxide is a much stronger base (and stronger nucleophile) than chloride, and...
1 Answers 1 viewsUse the basic classification method: Nucleophilicity the measure how good a Nucleophile is governed by the following. The ability to give away an electron and bond: 1) Charge 2) Polarizability...
1 Answers 1 viewsThe force which holds atomic and subatomic particles together is called the "strong force." The force that pushes energy from the atomic nucleus is call the weak force, plutonium, uranium...
1 Answers 1 viewsI'll assume you have already studied enough about the electrical force (Coulomb's law and the exchange of (virtual) photons) to use that as a comparison. Firstly, the strong force is...
1 Answers 1 viewsThe strong, and also the weak, nuclear forces only act over very short distances. The strong force hold the nucleons together in a nucleus. They don't have long reaching effect....
1 Answers 1 viewsTo set the record straight there is no such thing as the strong nuclear force. The so called strong nuclear force is a residue of the colour force, propagated by...
1 Answers 1 viewsUsing Newton's gravitational force equation $F=(Gm_1m_2)/(r^2)$ and assuming that the mass of is $m_1=5.972*10^24kg$ and $m_2$ is the given mass of the moon with $G$ being $6.674*10^-11Nm^2/(kg)^2$ gives $1.989*10^20...
1 Answers 1 viewsShielding of electromagnetic forces involves using opposing charges to diminish the force between a given charge and the object you're shielding. For instance, in a sodium atom the outer electron...
1 Answers 1 viewsThe force on a planet is given by Newton’s universal law of gravitation ($F = -G.(m_1.m_2)/r^2$) The force on an electron circling the nucleus is given by $F = 1/(4pi...
