If you mean what group of elements react the most, the answer is the alkali metals and the halogens because they both only either need to gain or lose one electron. If you mean the most reactive element, it would be fluorine because it has the most electronegativity.
It will have 35 ''electrons'' . Basically the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is always equal to the number of electrons but its just that protons are positively charged and electrons are negatively charged. <span />
Answer: -
The first step involves protonation of the carbonyl oxygen.
After protonation, the Alcohol oxygen now attacks the carbon of the carbonyl.
Thus a six membered ring is formed with 5 carbon atoms and 1 oxygen atom. The 1st position carbon atom has 2 OH groups.
One of these gets again protonated.
This leaves as water. With the loss of the H+, there results a carbonyl at 1 position.
Thus 5-hydroxypentanoic acid forms a lactone or 2-oxanone in presence of acid.
Number 4 is
-Oxidation occurs at the anode, while reduction occurs at the cathode. Recharging a battery involves the conversion of electrical energy to chemical energy. During recharging, there is movement of electrons from an external power source to the anode, and on the other side electrons are removed from the cathode.
