Well yes it is used as a fertilizer
The dominant use of potassium sulfate is as a fertilizer. K2SO4
But I am also not able to figure out why it is not involved in eutrophication.
Well It is also soluble in water.

eutrophication is only caused by excess amount of nitrates and phosphates in water bodies.

I think option B have planar structure for it can also exist as cyclopropane which have angle of 120 degree ( I don't get this part either)

Cyclopropane is not planar

Oh... Ok Thank You

Q37 For a molecule to be in same plane it should have an angle of 120 degree in its compound
option A contains a 120 degree angle due to C=C bond.
I think option B have planar structure for it can also exist as cyclopropane which have angle of 120 degree ( I don't get this part either)
From the examination report:
Question 37 The most commonly chosen incorrect answer was C. This suggests that most candidates knew that the three carbon atoms in propane all lie in the same plane. The six carbon atoms in 2,3-dimethylbut-2-ene also all lie in the same plane, since the bond angles at an sp2 hybridised carbon atom are very close to 120°, and the π bond prevents rotation. However, the six carbon atoms in cyclohexane do not lie in the same plane, they are all sp3 hybridised with bond angles close to 109°.

Yup it should not be propane then

This is the shape of propane so yes it is planar

Someone pls help it's ans is B y not D?View attachment 64008

which year is this?

 

[Hamnah Zahoor]

Cyclopropane is not planar

Then how do you prove propane to be planar I even searched it on the internet but I was not able to get the idea and on some sites it stated cyclopropane to be planar.
I am still confused on this part.

This is the shape of propane so yes it is planar

But it is not condition angle must be 120?

I've searched for it multiple times but the explanation about cyclopropane not being planar is beyond our syllabus and I don't get it...anyways our mark schemes always refer to it not being planar so just remember this

But pls tell me it is not necessary angle must be 120?

 

[A*****]

But it is not condition angle must be 120?

No I don't think so

 

[Kanekii]

Never heard of that


Sigma bond is the single bond formed due to overlap of orbitals....pie is formed by the sideways overlap of p orbitals

So sigma bond can be any bond? Or im confused :/

 

[A*****]

So sigma bond can be any bond? Or im confused :/

It actually is a bit confusing....every first bond bw two atoms is sigma and the rest are pie

 

[A*****]

Plz explain these

 

[A*****]

OMG I JUST MIXED IT....I'M REALLY SORRY I MEANT CYCLOHEXANE NOT CYCLOPROPANE
CYCLOPROPANE IS PLANAR AND CYCLOHEXANE IS NON PLANAR
SORRRYYYY

It's ok I get the idea.

 

[A*****]

It's ok I get the idea.

Plz can u explain those 2 qs?
