valance electrons that reside in the outermost shell of an atom in the highest energy level. They are important to atoms because the fewer valence electrons that the atom holds, it becomes less stable.
I take honors chemistry I hope this helps.
It deteriorates. Definitely more than when you started.
To prevent the hydrolysis and to catalyse the reaction.
Explanation:
- Sulphuric acid is the catalyst and also a dehydrating agent in this reaction.
- Sulphuric acid is using in redox reaction because sulphuric acid is providing H+ ions which is necessary for this reaction to occur more quickly, but the sulphate ions from the sulphuric acid barely react during this process. So H2SO4 is adding in this reaction to make it more acidic.
- H2SO4 is preventing hydrolysis by providing excess H+ ions into the reaction. H2SO4 is stable towards the direction of oxidation.
C.
Protons is 8 so the atomic number will be 8.
Number of neutrons= atomic mass - atomic number
16-8 = 8.
