The product formed (hydroxybutanitrile) is optically inactive because the nitrile nucleophile can attack the propane at its carbonyl bond which is trigonal planar about it. There is an equal chance of it ...

Cyclohexene's structure is 6 carbons bonded in a ring, with a single double bond existing between carbons 1 and 6Benzene is also a 6 carbon ring, however it has a delocalised electron ring around the stru...

Ethanoic acid is the most acidic of the three. This is because once ethanoic acid has lost a proton the negative charge can be spread over two oxygen atoms via two resonance forms. Oxygen atoms are electr...

1a) Strong acids fully dissociate in water, whereas weak acids only partially dissociate in water - thus forming an equilibrium mixture.
1b) See diagram.

Fe²⁺ has an electron configuration of 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d⁶. When the ligands of the solution bind to the metal ion the d-orbitals...
