30.The requirement that the ground state configuration of an atom is generated by filling 

electrons into orbitals from lowest energy to the highest energy observing the 

maximum number allowed for each of these level is 

a) The aufbau’s principle

b) Bustemente’s principle

c) Hund’s rule

d) The pauli’s principle 

1.      Draw structure of a tertiary alcohol, give its correct name and the show the REACTION MECHANISM for the formation of an alkyl halide from this alcohol.                                  

HINT: 

-      The reaction is S_N1, it takes place through 3 STEPS and TWO carbocations forms as intermediates. 

-      The reaction was carried in the presence of an acid and in the presence of halide ions, and not at elevated temperature.

-      Halide ions are good nucleophiles (they are much stronger nucleophiles than water), and since halide ions are present in high concentration, most of the carbocations react with an electron pair of a halide ion to form a more stable species, the alkyl halide product.

 Why would water be considered an alcohol derivative?

At STP, 30cm*3 of H2 gas was burnt in excess oxygen gas. if the final volume of gases in the reaction was 100cm*3., what was the initial volume of the oxygen?

What is hydrogen
