<span>C. The number of electrons the element needs to lose or gain to have a full valence shell</span>
jekas [21]3 years ago
7 0

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Oxidation state is defined as the number which is given to an atom when it looses or gains electron. It is written as a superscript.

When an atom looses electron, it will attain a positive oxidation state and when an atom gains electron, it will attain a negative oxidation state.

An atom looses or gains electron to attain stability and to fill their valence shell.

<u>For Example:</u>

  • Oxygen atom will gain 2 electrons and will form O^{2-} ion having oxidation state of -2.
  • Sodium atom will loose 1 electron and form Na^+ ion having oxidation state of +1.

Thus, the correct answer is Option C.

Explain why the amino group of p-aminobenzoic acid does not participate in the reaction
lubasha [3.4K]

This is because amino group of p-aminobenzoic acid is an aniline and is less electrophilic than an alkyl amine.

<h3>What is an Aniline?</h3>

This is an aromatic amine which consists of a phenyl group attached to an amino group.

The amino group of p-aminobenzoic acid being an aniline makes it less electrophilic which is why an alkyl amine participates in the reaction instead.
