Answer:

The correct option is an atom with a partly filled energy level

Explanation:

An atom with a partially filled energy level means the atom has a partially filled outermost shell which in turn means the atom as valence electrons. The presence of valence electrons in atoms makes them undergo chemical bonding with other atoms of the same/different elements (during chemical reactions).

Atoms with completely filled energy levels (such as the noble gases) have a completely filled outermost shell and hence do not have valence electrons which can take part in bond formation during chemical reactions and hence these group of atoms have low chemical reactivity.

It is more reactive the atom with a partly filled energy level because is less stable than the other case. Stability is inversely proportional to reactivity.

Which acid could not be prepared by treating a Grignard reagent with CO2?
Anni [7]

Answer:

4-oxopentanoic acid.

Explanation:

In this case, we must remember that the Grignard reaction is a reaction in which <u>carbanions</u> are produced. Carboanions have the ability to react with CO2 to generate a new C-C bond and a carboxylate ion. Finally, the acid medium will protonate the carboxylate to produce the <u>carboxylic acid group. </u>

The molecules that can follow the mechanism described above are the molecules: p-methylbenzoic acid, cyclopentane carboxylic acid and 3-methylbutanoic acid. (See figure 1)

In the case of <u>4-oxopentanoic acid</u>, the possible carbanion <u>will attack the carbonyl group</u> to generate a cyclic structure and an alcohol group (1-methylcyclopropan-1-ol). Therefore, this molecule cannot be produced by this reaction. (See figure 2)
