Explanation

Alkenes are commonly known as Olefins due to their ability to form oily liquids when reacting with chlorine.

They are unsaturated hydrocarbons containing at least one carbon-carbon double bond (C=C).

Explanation

Barium (Z = 56) → Electron configuration:

[Xe]6s²

Barium's electron distribution:

• K = 2
• L = 8
• M = 18
• N = 18 ⬅ Penultimate shell (4th shell / N-shell)
• O = 8 (valence shell)

The penultimate shell (N-shell) holds 18 electrons in Barium.

Explanation

Step 1: Calculate the molar mass of S8

The atomic mass of sulfur (S) is approximately 32 g/mol. The molar mass of S8 = 8 * 32 = 256 g/mol.

Step 2: Calculate the number of moles of S8

Number of moles = mass of S8 / molar mass of S8 = 64 g / 256 g/mol = 0.25 mol.

Step 3: Calculate the number of molecules of S8

Number of molecules = number of moles * Avogadro's number (NA) = 0.25 * NA.

Step 4: Calculate the number of sulfur atoms

Each molecule of S8 contains 8 sulfur atoms. Therefore, the total number of sulfur atoms = 8 * number of molecules = 8 * 0.25 * NA = 2 * NA = 2NA.

Explanation

When a nitrogen nucleus is hit by an alpha particle, it can produce oxygen and a proton.

This was observed in early nuclear reactions, such as Rutherford's experiment.

Explanation

Explanation

Bayer's test (using dilute potassium permanganate) detects the presence of C=C double bonds in alkenes.

A positive test results in decolorization of the purple KMnO₄ solution.

Explanation

The phenomenon where a chemical element exists in multiple crystalline forms is called allotropy

Allotropy refers to the ability of an element to exist in two or more different forms in the same physical state.

This is different from polymorphism, which is a broader term referring to any substance (not just elements) that can exist in multiple crystalline forms. 

Explanation

• Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K), and Nitrogen (N) are three essential macronutrients for plant growth.
• It is also referred to as "NPK".
• They play critical roles in various plant processes, including photosynthesis, root development, and cell growth.

Explanation

Calcium propionate (CH₃CH₂COO⁻Ca⁺) and calcium acetate (CH₃COO⁻Ca⁺) undergo ketonic decarboxylation upon heating.

This reaction forms ethyl methyl ketone (butanone) and releases CO₂.

Explanation

Acetic acid (CH3COOH) is a weak acid that only partially dissociates in water, forming a weak electrolyte solution.

It does not fully dissociate into ions like strong acids (like HCl) or strong bases (like KOH).
