question
A carbonyl group, C=O, and an alkene, C=C, double bonds are both sp2 hybridized. However, the chemistry of these two functional groups is very different. This can be explained by which of the following statements? A. The bond angle of the carbonyl is larger than the bond angle of the alkene. B. The electronegative oxygen of the C=O group makes this bond polar. C. The bond of the C=C is longer that the bond of the C=O. D. There is more steric crowding in the carbonyl than in the alkene.
answer
B
question
Both LiAlH4 and NaBH4 are reducing agents. Which statement about these reagents is true? A. Both reagents contain polar metal-hydrogen bonds. The polarity of the B-H bond is greater than the polarity of the Al-H bond, so LiAlH4 is the stronger reducing agent. B. Both reagents contain polar metal-hydrogen bonds. The polarity of the B-H bond is greater than the polarity of the Al-H bond, so LiAlH4 is the weaker reducing agent. C. Both reagents contain polar metal-hydrogen bonds. The polarity of the B-H bond is less than the polarity of the Al-H bond, so LiAlH4 is the stronger reducing agent. D. Both reagents contain polar metal-hydrogen bonds. The polarity of the B-H bond is less than the polarity of the Al-H bond, so LiAlH4 is the weaker reducing agent.
answer
