Answer: A. Sodium chloride

Explanation: Sodium chloride (NaCl) is an ionic compound formed by transfer of electrons from sodium to chlorine.

Electronic configuration of sodium:

[Na]=1s^22s^22p^63s^1

Sodium atom will loose one electron to gain noble gas configuration and form sodium cation with +1 charge.

[Na^+]=1s^22s^22p^63s^0

Electronic configuration of chlorine:

[Cl]=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5

Chlorine atom will gain one electron to gain noble gas configuration and form chloride ion with -1 charge.

[Cl^-]=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6

These ions can be separated in polar solvent water and thus are soluble in water.

Whereas methane (CH_4) is a covalent compound formed by sharing of electrons and is soluble in non polar solvents.

Bromine (Br_2) is a covalent compound formed by sharing of electrons and is soluble in non polar solvents.

Who is responsible for the general theory of relativity?
puteri [66]

Albert Einstein was responsible for the general theory of relativity. The general theory of relativity explains that what we recognize as the force of gravity in fact arises from the curvature of space and time. In the latency of matter and energy it can evolve, stretch and morph. Forming ridges, valleys and mountains that cause bodies moving through it to curve and zig-zag.

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Substitution.

Explanation:

Claisen reaction was first published in 1887 by a prominent German chemist known as Rainer Ludwig Claisen.

A Claisen reaction is a nucleophilic substitution in which an enolate is the nucleophile. It's typically a reaction of two molecules of an ester to form a β-keto ester, in the presence of an alkoxide base. Thus, a Claisen reaction is simply a characteristic condensation reaction of esters through a nucleophilic carbonyl substitution with an enolate such as a ketone enolate or an ester enolate.

Furthermore, a Claisen reaction results in the formation of a carbon-carbon bond in the presence of a strong base to yield a β-keto ester.

How many ribs does grandfathers skeleton have
Harrizon [31]
Same as a normal human would have. 24 ribs or 12 pairs of ribs in each side. There is no discrepancy in the number of ribs whether the human is old or young; male or female (contrary to the unpopular belief that a male has an extra pair of ribs).
