Answer:
Answer refer to the above attachment .
Bcoz some words are unable to answer .
The oxygen atom has 4 valence electrons. Valence electrons are the electrons found in the outermost shell of an atom. These are the electrons that participate in chemical reactions during bonding. Since 4 electrons make up 2 pairs, an oxygen atom is capable of making <em>2 covalent bonds</em>.
The volume of the granite piece in Cm³ is 12.2 cm³
<u><em>calculation</em></u>
volume of granite = (volume of cylinder after placing granite - volume of cylinder before placing granite
= 37.2 ml - 25.0 ml = 12.2 ml
convert ml to Cm³
that is 1 ml = 1 cm³
12.2 ml = ? cm³
<em>by cross multiplication</em>
=(12.2 ml x 1 cm³) / 1 ml = 12.2 cm³
Answer: condenstation.
Justification:
The polymerization by condensation is a well know chemical reaction in which two monomers ("small" molecules), each with (at least) two functional groups, combine and relase water as by-product. Actually, even if the by-product released is not water, yet the reaction is called condenstation, since the mechanism is basically the same.
An example of such reaction is the manufacturing of nylon 6,6, which is produced from adipic acid and 1,6-diamine hexane:
HOOC - [CH₂]₄ - COOH + nH₂N - [CH₂]₆ - NH₂ → - nylon - + nH₂O
I omitted the formula of nylon because it is large, and that is not the core of the question but the fact the kind of reaction: two molecules combine to form is a larger molecule, and water is released
