Since a Grignard reagent contains a carbon atom with a partial charge, it acts as a and reacts with the OH of the starting halide, BrCH2CH2CH2CH2OH. This acid-base reaction destroys the Grignard reagent so that addition cannot occur.

Rocks, as they are compressed, begin forming mountains above the earth's surface when two continental plates converge. the continental crust increases in depth as the mountains grow above. the himalayan mountains formed at a convergent plate boundary in this manner. the rocks are smashed together causing them to due to the intense heat and pressure from the colliding plates and eventually forming rock. a) melt; igneous b) layer; sedimentary c) recrystallize; metamorphic d) melt into the earth's interior; metamorphic
