<span>According to octet rule, atoms with an atomic number less than 20 tend to combine with other atom such that both of these atoms have eight electrons in their valence shells, which gives them the same electronic configuration as that of noble gas.
However, there are few compound that donot obey octel rule. Among the elements mentioned above i.e. oxygen and helium obeys octet rule.
In case of nitrogen, oxide of nitrogen (like NO and NO2) have incomplete octet.
While there are few compounds of Br wherein Br has expanded octet. For example, in BrF5, Br has 12 electrons in valence shell. </span>
1L ------------ 1 kg
? ------------- 3.8 kg
3.8 x 1 / 1
= 3.8 L
Seven
Elements do not contain more than 7 electron shells.
Answer:
2-ethoxy-2-methylpropan-1-ol
Explanation:
On this reaction, we have an "<u>epoxide"</u> (2-methyl-1,2-epoxypropane). Additionally, we have <u>acid medium</u> (due to the sulfuric acid
). The acid medium will produce the <u>hydronium ion</u> (
). This ion would be attacked by the oxygen of the epoxide. Then a <u>carbocation</u> would be produced, in this case, the most stable carbocation is the <u>tertiary one</u>. Then an <u>ethanol</u> molecule acts as a nucleophile and will attack the carbocation. Finally, a <u>deprotonation </u>step takes place to produce <u>2-ethoxy-2-methylpropan-1-ol</u>.
See figure 1
