Be isnt a part of period 3 :p but as far as my opinion goes, i believe it would not react with oxygen or H20 as reactivity decreases going up group 2, and since Mg already has such a slow reaction, then the chances of Be reacting are minimal!

Btw, if i helped anyone here, i do request that you please do remember me in your prayers IA =)

Close, but not the same...
Mine is 2 butene 2-3 diol...
The marking scheme is 2 butene 1-4 diol
Plus, you dont have to be mark scheme specific now do u? it's made for teachers... probably yours will be accepted cuz there's ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong with it.

Well no, but I just want to know, are answers that are not in the marking scheme but satisfy the question correct, or must the be like the mark scheme... If they must be like the marking scheme, I'd be doomed

Something sbout your diagram doesnt seem to be right... Can someone help me with what's wrong in his diagram? I would draw the mark scheme answer.. nothing else would really occur to me...

EXACTLY!! I thinkit has something to do with the groups attached but I'd draw the MS also.
Then again I can't pinpoint an error in his...

HEY GUYS pleasssssse answer this for me:

STRUCTURAL FORMULA = OH(CH2)4OH for example
Right?
SKELETAL= OH/\/\/OH
Right?
DISPLAYED is where you show the bonds.

BUT in the A2 MS all organic comounds are given I skeletal? When it says "DRAW THE STRUCTURES"
Does that not mean draw structural formulae?

hmm i think that this question is the question where it says no oxygen atom is attached to carbon because if this is the case then ur answer is wrong plus ur answer is not fully displayed so it is wrong yeah. is this the question where it says no oxygen is attached to carbon=carbon double bond?

Obviously Thats it then. I haven't read the question, was just answering it based in what they posted.

if it didn't specify then i am sure it is accepted in any form but maybe since professional examiners set up the marking scheme for A levels then they draw the structures in skeletal formulas most of the time
