is more reactive than fluoromethylbenzene.
Chemistry

Explanation:

The order of positive mesomeric effect (+M) is as follows

F>Cl>Br>I.

This implies that electron density in the respective Halobenzene is of the order

Fluorobenzene > Chlorobenzene > Iodobenzene.

This means that electrophilic aromatic substitution will also follow the same order, more the electron density more will be chances of electrophilic aromatic substitution. This means  fluorobenzene is more reactive than chlorobenzene toward electrophilic aromatic substitution

However, methyl group is attached in ring, beacuse of starric hindrance, chloromethylbenzene is more reactive than fluoromethylbenzene.

Calculate the radius ratio for NaBr if the ionic radii of Na + and Br − are 102 pm and 196 pm , respectively. radius ratio: Base
Fudgin [204]

Answer : The expected coordination number of NaBr is, 6.

Explanation :

Cation-anion radius ratio : It is defined as the ratio of the ionic radius of the cation to the ionic radius of the anion in a cation-anion compound.

This is represented by,

\frac{r_{cation}}{r_{anion}}

When the radius ratio is greater than 0.155, then the compound will be stable.

Now we have to determine the radius ration for NaBr.

Given:

Radius of cation, Na^+ = 102 pm

Radius of cation, Br^- = 196 pm

\frac{r_{cation}}{r_{anion}}=\frac{102}{196}=0.520

As per question, the radius of cation-anion ratio is between 0.414-0.732. So, the coordination number of NaBr will be, 6.

The relation between radius ratio and coordination number are shown below.

Therefore, the expected coordination number of NaBr is, 6.

Perform the following calculations and give your answer with the correct number of significant figures:
Arte-miy333 [17]
When multiplying numbers, the term with the least significant digits gives how many significant digits will be in the answer. 2.995 has the least with 4 "sig figs", so the answer will have 4 significant digits as well:

2.995/0.16685 = <span>17.9502547198
</span>                           ↑↑  ↑<span>↑
                        4 sig figs

So the answer is 17.95.</span>

How many atoms are centered on the (100) plane for the fcc crystal structure?
Setler [38]

Here, we have to get the number of atoms present in the 100 plane of the FCC crystal lattice.

There will be 2 atoms in 100 plane of FCC crystal lattice.

In the face centered crystal (FCC) lattice there are atoms at each corner of the cube and each are shared by 4 another atoms. And an atom is present at the face of the crystal.

For the 100 plane of the Miller indices the intercepts are a, ∞, ∞ or 2a, ∞, ∞.

Thus, for the 4 atoms of the corner at the cube shared by 4 other atoms will contribute, 4 × \frac{1}{4} = 1 and the un-shared atoms at the face will contribute another 1, which make the total atom 1 + 1 = 2.
