Based on the electron configuration of the two atoms, predict the ratio of metal cationic (+) atom to nonmetal anionic (-) atom in the compound.

Potassium  

Nitrogen  

A. 3:1

B. 1:2

C. 2:1

D. 3:2

Propose a synthesis of the target molecule below. You must show every intermediate along the way in your synthetic sequence (just like we have been doing in lecture and discussion section). Be sure to carefully read the limitations (in this case the only available starting sources of carbon are clearly identified). You do not necessarily have to use all the sources of carbon listed (those are simply your options to choose from).

 

All quizzes in this class are closed book, closed notes, and closed collaboration.

 

NOTE: For this problem, if you choose to use a Grignard as a reagent, you need to show how that Grignard reagent is made from one of the starting sources of carbon.
