89. how many isomeric mono-substitution products are possible for the bromination of the aromatic hydrocarbon napthalene?

I the answer is 2 but i thought the answer should be 3. I attached an image with arrows pointing to the places that I thought Br can be added onto. Please help me out.

That's anthracene?

edit: I think you're talking about this problem.

o i see... they asked for naphthalene but showed a figure of anthracene. Is this a type or are they trying to trick us?

naphthalene is two aromatic rings together.

what you drew is anthracene

I dont have the 2009 ADA exam but I guess it must be a typo

Hey demps what'd you think of the QR section in 2009?

I didnt buy so I don't have 2009 ADA test. I can't comment, sorry 🙁

I'm preparing myself with CDM and Math Destroyer. I have topscore and i did two of them so far.

 

[skim1988]

i see i see. for me it was harder than any of topscore or math destroyer...

lol that is not good to hear lol..

I hit 20 and 19 on the first QR for the first two topscore. 2009 ADA must be damn hard

yea it's pretty bad. ill give you an example...

an elliptical mirror has foci at (+1,0), a major axis length of sqrt(20), and a minor axis length 4 units. A beam of light originating from the focus at (-1,0) is reflected of the elliptical mirror once before arriving at the other focus. What is the total length of the path followed by the beam of light?

doesnt it seem like a physic problem? there's like 2 more problems like this... problems i cant even setup.

😱😱

I would just skip and get whatever I can get right and hopefully it will be better than 19~20 lol... I don't know how to set up either haha
