There is nothing attached to this question so I unfortunately cannot help you
Explanation:
F (Fluorine) is in column (group/family) VIIA, or the "halogens". When you see the halogens (Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, and Iodine) in combination with a metal, each halogen atom present will carry a -1 charge. We can see that the atom has no charge, so the metal must cancel out the negative charges brought by the two fluorine atoms.
(Charge on m) + 2*(charge on fluorine) = 0
(Charge on m) + 2*(-1) = 0
(Charge on m) - 2 = 0
Charge on m ion = +2
Answer:
Conjugate base: Propionate
Explanation:
- Conjugate base contains one less proton as compared to it's parent acid. Deprotonation occurs from most acidic region.
- Propionic acid deprotonates to produce it's strong conjugate base propionate.
- In propionic acid, -OH group in -COOH functional moiety dissociates to produce
. Because the O-H bond electrons remains highly polarized towards oxygen atom due to electron withdrawing inductive effect as well as resonating effect of -COOH moiety.
- Structure of conjugate base has been shown below.
