Video transcript

everyone, so we have oxygen ions that contain elements in the same group of the periodic table, and they have an analogous formula and are named in a similar convention, were asked to propose a name for the following ion A. S. 043 minus. So this is going to be similar A phosphate, which is P afford a minus because arsenic and phosphorus are in the same group in the periodic table, We're gonna have arsenic A. S. And then 043 -. That's gonna be arson ion. Thanks for watching my video, and I hope it was helpful.

Textbook Question

Cyclopropane is an interesting hydrocarbon. Instead of having three carbons in a row, the three carbons form a ring, as shown in this perspective drawing (see Figure 2.18 for a prior example of this kind of drawing):

Cyclopropane was at one time used as an anesthetic, but its use was discontinued, in part because it is highly flammable. (b) The three carbon atoms are necessarily in a plane. What do the different wedges mean?
