    What is the nature of the bond in sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate?

    oh so that is an ionic bond, there is no need for a "stick" to be attached to the sodium

    What is the nature of the bond in sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate?

    ok thanks so the sodium doesn't have an actaul physical bond to the rest of the structure (no stick attaching to the rest of the structure) because its an ionic bond right

    What is the nature of the bond in sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate?

    I have to write a report on the bonds of the following element sodium doecylbenzene sulfonate. The problem is in the pic (see pic) the sodium doesn't have a bond to anything is this an ionic bond? Plz help I'm extremely confused:bugeye:

    What is Isoamyl? Learn How it Forms Esterification

    doesn't isopentyl mean that the OH group is attached to the second Carbon, so how would you get 3-methyl-1-butanol. If that is right (3-methyl-1-butanol) then would isoamyl propanoate be the same as 3-methylbutyl propanoate?

    What is Isoamyl? Learn How it Forms Esterification

    Whats isoamyl? Hi i have a quick question I'm supposed to show how isoamyl propanoate is fromed. I know that this is esterification and that one of the reactants is propanoic acid but i don't know what the alcohol isoamyl is? I tried searching on google and all i get is test questions:mad: Plz help

    How Do you create a ball n stick model?

    ye thanks 3trQN that's what i did, i added a long chain that looks like /\/\/\ n i added 2 hydrogens to each carbon but it looks soo odd , has any1 ever seen a ball n stick model that looked like that (see above pic and imagine a chain of carbon with little hydrogens on top of each attached to...

    How Do you create a ball n stick model?

    i'm supposed 2 create a Ball n Stick model of sodium para-dodecylbenzene sulfonate, but I'm not sure how dodecyl looks like. I know benzene has a hexagonal shape but I'm not sure how dodecyl would look like.

    How Do you create a ball n stick model?

    How Do you create a ball n stick model of dodecylbenzene Does the ball n stick model of a molecule match its structural diagram, and how?:confused:this is the structural diagram I'm using for sodium para-dodecylbenzene sulfonate...

    Sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate- What is it?

    O thx, i got the shape now but I'm supposed 2 do a 3D model of it how would i approach that? P.S. does this formula look right Na CH2(CH2)10CH3 SO3?
