I believe this question has the following five choices to choose from:

 

>an SN2 reaction has occurred with inversion of configuration

>racemization followed by an S N 2 attack

>an SN1 reaction has taken over resulting in inversion of configuration

>an SN1 reaction has occurred due to carbocation formation

>an SN1 reaction followed by an S N 2 “backside” attack

 

 

The correct answer is:

an SN1 reaction has occurred due to carbocation formation

how many electrons does silver have to give up in order to achieve a sido noble gas electron configuration
andrezito [222]

Answer:

Silver has to give up one electron.

Explanation:

Silver is a transition element and has a partially filled 4d- orbital having 9 electrons and a 5s orbital having 2 electrons in it. In order to achieve stability, silver must have completely filled d-orbital having a maximum number of 10 electrons in it.

Therefore, one electron from 5s orbital jumps to 4d orbital to make it stable. Now, 5s orbital has only one electron, and it will be easy for silver to lose this electron to attain a stable electronic configuration.
