    How Can You Move a Pi Bond Into a Cycloalkane?

    Hello. This is driving me a little mad, and some assistance would be hugely appreciated. Homework Statement Show how the following transformation can be achieved (more than one step may be involved) Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution The only approach i could come up with was the...

    Aluminium Hydroxide as Amphoteric Substance

    Just a thought, but could the question be asking for something like this? Al(OH)_{3} + Al(OH)_{3}{+}\rightleftharpoons AlH(OH)_2^+ + AlO(OH)_2^- This is, as the question states, "a" reaction, where Al(OH)3 bevaes in both ways, one accepting a proton, the other an electron pair...

    Solving Nuclear Equations: ^{28}_{14}Si to ^{14}_6C

    Hi Astronuc. thanks sooo much for this. Ok, so for ii, ^{186}_{75}Re gains a proton, increasing A by 1, and therefore Z by 1 as well, giving us ^{187}_{76}. In order for the charges to match, we would need X \ = \ ^{187}_{77}Ir. I must say it seemed unlikely that the answer would be a nuclide...

    Solving Nuclear Equations: ^{28}_{14}Si to ^{14}_6C

    Hi there. I'm hoping someone will be able to help with these equations. I'm studying 1st year chem through correspondence, and am struggling a little with some concepts without someone to talk them through with. These are the equations I'm given. i) ^{28}_{14}Si \ + \ ^1_0n \ \rightarrow \...
