They'll accept any appropriate representation of the structure (structural, displayed, skeletal) as long as it is right. This has to do with optical isomerism. As you can see it has two chiral centress, so you'll have rotate them around, and see which matches with F. It's impossible to explain... -

We need to look at the bonding in the -CONH2 group. Like any other double bond, a carbon-oxygen double bond is made up of two different parts. One electron pair is found on the line between the two nuclei - this is known as a sigma bond. The other electron pair is found above and below the... -

It feels contradictory to me as well, but this is what makes sense to me: Fluorine has the lowest polarizability of all atoms. From this statement, we can say that the C-F bond isn't polarized enough to form the strong hydrogen bonds i.e. the δ- of the F isn't negative enough to form a strong... -

Flourocarbons are hydrophobic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorine "Also, adding fluorine to organics increases their lipophilicity (ability to dissolve in fats) because the carbon–fluorine bond is even more hydrophobic than the carbon–hydrogen bond."... -

In order for a halogenoalkane to dissolve in water you have to break attractions between the halogenoalkane molecules (van der Waals dispersion and dipole-dipole interactions) and break the hydrogen bonds between water molecules. Both of these cost energy. Energy is released when new attractions... -

This page does a great job in thoroughly explaining it http://www.chemguide.co.uk/physical/acidbaseeqia/phcurves.html Make sure you understand acid-base reactions, pH calculations, and buffer solutions first though. -

Cyclohexane is an unsaturated organic compound so it wouldn't react with NaOH. Phenol does react with NaOH, as phenol is acidic (lone pair of O being delocalised into the ring causes the O-H bond to be more polar so the H breaks off more easily) -

Have you read the chapter on partition coefficients? This page does a great job in explaining the concept and how to do the calculations. http://www.chemguide.co.uk/CIE/section112/learningf.html Read that page and try to figure out how to solve the question yourself. It's mostly math anyway... -
