Answer:
Explanation:
The oxidation state, sometimes referred to as oxidation number, describes the degree of oxidation (loss of electrons) of an atom in a chemical compound. Conceptually, the oxidation state, which may be positive, negative or zero, is the hypothetical charge that an atom would have if all bonds to atoms of different elements were 100% ionic, with no covalent component. This is never exactly true for real bonds.
The term oxidation was first used by Antoine Lavoisier to signify reaction of a substance with oxygen. Much later, it was realized that the substance, upon being oxidized, loses electrons, and the meaning was extended to include other reactions in which electrons are lost, regardless of whether oxygen was involved.

Answer:
- <u><em>butylphenyl ether.</em></u>
Explanation:
The formula of the compound is:
- CH₃ - CH₂ - CH₂ - CH₂ - O - C₆H₅
1. The functional group is of the kind R - O - R', i.e. two alkyl groups each attached to one end of the oxygen atom. That means that the compound is an ether.
2. One group attached to the oxygen group is CH₃ - CH₂ - CH₂ - CH₂ - which has 4 carbons and is named butyl group.
3. The other group attached to the oxygen atom is C₆H₅ - which is derived from ciclohexane as is known as phenyl group.
4. Using the rule of naming the subtituents in alphabetical order, you name butyl first and phenyl second, so it is <u><em>butylphenyl ether.</em></u>
It is either a proton or a neutron
