AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the optical activity of 4-(Bromohydroxymethenyl)-1-chlorocyclohexan-1-ol, questioning its classification as optically active or inactive. Participants reference a specific image regarding optical isomerism in alkylidenes, where a compound is labeled as "optically inactive." There is debate over the accuracy of the structure linked from Chemistry Stack Exchange, with some asserting it should be optically active based on its drawn structure. Additionally, there is inquiry into whether the provided name is a correct IUPAC designation for the compound. The conversation emphasizes the need for detailed explanations regarding chirality and optical activity.

in the first image, under "optical isomerism in alkylidenes" , the middle compound in the second row is said as "optically inactive"

If the structure is as shown in https://chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/58630/why-is-1-ethylidene-4-methylcyclohexane-chiral

then it should be optically active (as i have drawn in the second image)

is the structure in the link correct ? is it an optically active compound ...? please explain in as much a detailed way as possible ... thanks ...

is 4-(bromohydroxy methenyl) 1 - chloro cyclohexan-1-ol a correct IUPAC name for it ?

Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
