Fluorine is the most reactive reagent in the halogenation of an alkane. (4 pts) a. Write the full curved arrow mechanism for monofluorination of ethane. Calculate DH for each propagation step using the bond dissociation energies (BDEs). b. Write the net reaction for the mechanism above

every chemical equation adheres to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. therefore, there must be the same number of atoms of each element on each side of a chemical equation.

ca has a crystalline lattice with positive ions (since it is a metal, metals are positively charged) and electrons flow freely in its structure since the ca atoms have a large nuclear radius so the electrons are not tightly held, therefore the electrons can flow freely since they are not being highly attracted by the nucleus. moreover, one of the properties of metals are that they are conductors of electricity, thus proving ca is the element.
