Answer: Sodium also floats on the surface, but enough heat is given off to melt the sodium (sodium has a lower melting point than lithium and the reaction produces heat faster) and it melts almost at once to form a small silvery ball that dashes around the surface.
Explanation:
Answer:
The attached figure shows the structure of dimethyl terephthalate.
Explanation:
Dimethyl terephthalate is a compound whose formula is C6H4 (COOCH3) 2. It is a diester produced from terephthalic acid and methanol. It is characterized by being a white solid. Another method for the preparation is from p-xylene and methanol, which is characterized by having an oxidation and an esterification.
What happens when chlorine form an ion is that it gains an electron and has an octet in its outer shell ( answer A)
<u><em> Explanation</em></u>
<u><em> </em></u>Chlorine is is in atomic number 17 in periodic table.
The electron configuration of chlorine is 1S2 2S2 2P6 3S2 3P5 or[Ne]3S2 3p5 or 2.8.7.
chlorine therefore has 7 valence electron therefore it gain 1 electron to form Cl- ( ion)
Cl- has 8 electron in its outer shell ( it obeys octet rule of eight valence in outer shell.
