Answer:
<em>Hi Todoroki here!!! </em>
Explanation:
Chlorine has the electron configuration [Ne]3s 2 3p 5, with the seven electrons in the third and outermost shell acting as its valence electrons. Like all halogens, it is thus one electron short of a full octet, and is hence a strong oxidising agent, reacting with many elements in order to complete its outer shell.
<em>Your welcome!!</em>
Answer:
I
Explanation:
Among the halogens given in this problem, iodine has the lowest attraction for electrons.
This property is known as electronegativity.
Electronegativity is expressed as the relative tendency with which the atoms of the element attracts valence electrons in a chemical bond.
- As you go down the periodic group the electronegativity decreases.
- The most electronegative element on the periodic table is fluorine.
- Down the group, iodine is the least electronegative
- This is due to the large size of its atom.
The atomic number tells us the number of protons and electrons.
The atomic mass tells us the weight of the nucleus, which is the amount of protons and neutrons
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
