Briefly explain the two reasons why the radical anion on the RIGHT is more stable than...
Explain why cyclopentadiene (pKa 16) is many orders of
magnitude more acidic than cyclopentane (pKa > 50). (Hint: Draw
the structural formula for the anion formed by removing one of the
protons on the −CH2− group, and then apply the Hückel criteria for
aromaticity.)

There are more cells than organelles in the human body. Briefly explain why it is false or reword it to make it true.
why are benzene rings more stable than alkenes? use diagrams to explain your answer
Could anyone explain why the first compound is more stable than
the one I circled? And also, why is resonance a stronger influence
and not induction? Thanks!
15. Circle one of the following charged compounds which is most stable. (3 Points) Which is the stronger influence for your choice? a) Resonance or b) Induction (hyperconjugation)? (2 Points)
why is a primary alkyl peroxy radical more exothermic (unstable) than a secondary?
Why is ion A more stable than ion B?
5. (a) Why is ion A is more stable than ion B? (b) What would you look up to quantitatively estimate the energy difference between them?
Copper, silver, and gold are all stable in the 1+ oxidation state. Briefly explain why.
a)In your own words, state and briefly explain two reasons that lead to economies of scale. Approximately 50 words b)In your own words, state and briefly explain two reasons that lead to diseconomies of scale. Approximately 50 words
xplain why chelating ligands give more stable complexes than monodentate ligands; use a balanced chemical equation in your explanation. Explain why macrocyclic ligands give more stable complexes than chelating ligands.
for question 19 can you explain why you picked the reagents you
did?
Sterist CH; HC CHH; CCH; - CC CH trans vinylic anion more stable anion able cis vinylic a less stab electron repulsion cis radical anion less stable Hical anion is more stable than the cis radical anion, because the nonbonded electrons are farther apart i The trans vinylic anion is more stable than the cis vinylic anion, because the relatively bulky alkyl group in the trans isomer...
