Draw the structures of the starting materials needed to make 2‑methylhept‑3‑yne or 2‑methyl‑3‑heptyne. The starting materials may be any bromoalkane having five carbons or fewer.

Explanation:

The structures of the starting materials 2‑methylhept‑3‑yne can be seen in the diagram attached below. We will also notice the role of NaNH₂ which acts as a strong base and whose function is to extract acidic proton and form an alkyne as a product.

The reaction with NaNH₂ yields acetylide ion which is then reacted with a straight-chain alkyl halide to form an extended carbon chain.

CHECK THE DIAGRAM BELOW.

b. accuracy of the data matters alot more than its number of digits, organization or amount of detail. quantitative observation is more accepted than the qualitative observation.

considering the question as per the attachment

here we can see that the radon nuclide has 222 as the atomic mass number and 86 as the atomic number.

when it undergoes nuclear fission it gives polonium which has atomic mass number as 218 and atomic number will be 84 along with a helium nucleus which has 4 atomic mass number and 2 as its atomic number.

222 = 218 + 4 (atomic mass number)

86 = ? + 2; therefore ? = 86-2 = 84.

the atomic mass number of polonium will be 84.
