In this reaction ester is reduced to aldehyde. Such reduction can not be achieved by reacting reducing agents like LiAlH₄ because it will further reduce aldehydes to alcohols. So, in order to stop reduction at alddehyde, ester is reacted with bulky reducing agent, <span>Diisobutylaluminium hydride (DIBAL) which works with same mechanism as that LiAlH</span>₄ do. It also add hydride to carbonyl group. The reaction is shown below,

Luden [163]
You are correct, the atomic number is always equal to the number of protons in the element. It is the relative atomic mass that is equal to the number of protons+neutrons. Electrons have no mass

Nonmetals rarely lose electrons in chemical reactions because?
ziro4ka [17]
The reason for this is because nonmetals, have close to fulfilling an octet and need to gain few more electrons to do this, not to lose more. Nonmetals, because of the fact they need only few more electrons to satisfy their octet they would receive or share electrons to do this.

The property that nonmetals have are that they are very electronegative, they possess a strong affinity to pull electron density closer, because they possess fewer electron shells and possess even protons this allows for this.

When two atoms form a covalent bond, they share electrons from all of their orbitals. All of their orbitals, in turn, combine to
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

It's false.

Explanation:

Molecular orbital theory states that the number of molecular orbitals is equal to the number of atomic orbitals that overlap. The lowest energy molecular orbital is formed when two atomic orbitals that are in phase overlap, forming a bonding molecular orbital. However, another molecular orbital is also formed, called an anti-binding orbital.

So if an "n" quantity of atomic orbitals is combined, an "n" quantity of molecular orbitals is formed.

Have a nice day!
