Answer:
b) +2 and +3.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, given the molecular formulas:
And:
We can relate the subscripts with the oxidation states by knowing that they are crossed when the compound is formed, for that reason, we notice that oxygen oxidation state should be -2 for both cases and the oxidation state of X in the first formula must be +2 since both X and O has one as their subscript as they were simplified:
Moreover, for the second case the oxidation state of X should be +3 in order to obtain 3 as the subscript of oxygen:
Thus, answer is b)+2 and +3

Correct Answer: <em>Option 1) 2-pentene</em>
Reason:
Following are the IUPAC rules for naming the compound
1) Select the longest carbon chain. In present case longest carbon chain has 5 carbon atom. Hence, it is a pentane derivative.
2) In case of alkene, replace 'e' of alkane by 'ene'
3) Give lowest number to function group. In present case, it is double bond.
Applying above rules, the IUPAC name of compound is 2-pentene
