Sulfur is best to bind with oxygen. A covalent bond is a bond between two nonmetal elements. Aluminum is a metalloid and sodium is a metal. Both can't be bonded with sulfur. Neon isn't a metal but is a group 18 element, it's a noble gas. And a noble gas cannot be combined with any element because it already achieved a total of 8 valence electrons. Oxygen on the other hand can be bonded with sulfur since both are non metals

Answer:

Option D, oxygen

Explanation:

Since we know that ionic bond is formed between metal and non metal.

Example Na,Al Mg and Ca etc forms ionic bond with Sulfur.

While covalent bond is formed between two non metals like H2O, CO2 and NH3 etc.

Hence Sulfur binds with non metal oxygen example H2S.

And Neon is monovalent atom hence no reaction with Sulfur.

Consider the addition of HBr to 2-pentene. Indicate the re

lana [24]

Answer:

This addition reaction yields 3-BromoPentane and 2-BromoPentane.

Explanation: The reaction is an addition reaction that follows the Markonikoff's principle engaging the electrophillic addition mechnism with electrophile having no lone pair so rearrangement of carbonation is possible. It yields two possible products.

Draw the product that valine forms when it reacts with excess CH3CH2OH and HCl followed by a wash with aqueous base.

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Product: ethyl L-valinate

Explanation:

If we want to understand what it is the molecule produced we have to analyze the reagents. We have valine an amino acid, in this kind of compounds we have an amine group ( $NH_2$ ) and a carboxylic acid group ( $COOH$ ). Additionally, we have an alcohol ( $CH_3CH_2OH$ ) in the presence of HCl (a strong acid) in the first step, and a base ( $OH^-$ ).

When we have an acid and an alcohol in a vessel we will have an esterification reaction. In other words, an ester is produced. As the first step, the oxygen in the C=O (in the carboxylic acid group) would be protonated. In the second step, the ethanol attacks the carbon in the C=O of the carboxylic acid group producing a new bond between the oxygen in the ethanol and the carbon in the carboxylic acid. In step 3, a proton is transferred to produce a better leaving group ( $H_2O$ ). In step 4, a water molecule leaves the main structure to produce again the double bond C=O. Finally, a base ( $OH^-$ ) removes the hydrogen from the C=O bond to produce ethyl L-valinate
