Identify the alkene obtained on dehydration of each of the following alcohols: a. 3-Ethyl-3-pentanol
b. 1-Propanol
c. 2-Propanol
d. 2,3,3-Trimethyl-2-butanol

Explanation:

The information below explains how dehydration of alcohol occurs to produce alkene.

Under the influence of a catalyst, alcohol dehydrates to produce an alkene and water. To produce alkene and water, the reaction eliminates the OH group from alcohol containing the carbon atom and the hydrogen atom from a neighboring carbon atom via the same molecule.

The –OH group in alcohol contribute two(2) electrons to H+ out from the acid reagent, resulting in the formation of an alkyloxonium ion. This ion serves as an excellent leaving group, allowing a carbocation to form. The nucleophile which acts as the deprotonated acid subsequently attacks and creates a double bond with the hydrogen next to the carbocation.

metals are good conductor of electricity. it has free electrons on their surface. according to electron pool theory, each atom present in a metal crystal losses all of its valence electron and as a result a pool of free is form. these pool of electrons are free to move and   conduct electricity easily   while making metal as good conductor.

the correct answer is a. the ability of electrons to flow throughout the metal.

if it's not useful, feel free to report for mistake in answer.
