It has the most number of C-Cl bonds which persist high up in the atmosphere and break to form chlorine free radicals that deplete the ozone layer ... C-H bonds will break sooner once released into the atmosphere ... and C-F bonds are stable so they dont break as easily.

Bro how to solve Oct nov 2014 Q 30 plz

http://maxpapers.com/syllabus-materials/chemistry-9701-a-level/attachment/9701_w14_qp_11/
My answer is 8 :) though its not in the marking scheme

See, the molecule given has a lot of C=C bonds ... but only the tertiary alkenes will oxidise to give ketones ... (the secondary alkenes will oxidise to give aldehyde which further get oxidised to form acids. The primary ones give CO2) ... tertiary alkenes is when a C in the C=C double bond is attached to 3 other Carbon atoms ... if u look at the molecule carefully, u will see that there are 6 tertiary alkenes.

Can You help me with number 39 & 40?View attachment 54830
only the 39th question is in the picture ...
Is the answer B? If so, then ...
alkaline (NaOH in this case) hydrolisis of ester has 2 products: the sodium salt of the acid and the alcohol ...
and the first part of the molecule where the C is double bonded to O becomes the salt of acid ... the other part becomes the alcohol.

Help Please!!!
Use of the Data Booklet is relevant to this question. Sir Humphrey Davy discovered boron, calcium, magnesium and sodium. Which of these elements has the second smallest atomic radius in its group and the third lowest first ionisation energy in its period?
A boron
B calcium
C magnesium
D sodium

The Ans is C
