1. The chain length needs to be extended by 1, so we can use NaCN dissolved in ethanol to extend the carbon chain by 1. This will produce butanenitrile. Mechanism here.2) Now that the ...

(Drawing cannot be put into this area). The shape of this molecule is influenced by the bonding regions and lone pair regions (lone pairs repel more than bonded pairs). The molecule has 2 lone pairs and 3...

Butan-1-ol will have the highest boiling point of all 3 as it has Hydrogen bonds acting between molecules. This occurs due to the presence of the electronegative O atom. 2-methylpropane is a branched vers...

This is due to the -OH phenol functional group, which makes nitrating the molecule easier. Benzene has a delocalised pi-system above and below the plane of the molecule. The result of this is that: it is ...

Benzene has a planar structure with a bond angle of 120. The bonds between the carbon atoms in the ring are identical in strength and length. The length of the carbon-carbon bonds in benzene is intermedia...
