The reaction involved in present case is:
Net Reaction: Ca + 1/2 O2 → CaO. ..................(1)
In terms of oxidation and reduction, the reaction can be shown at
Oxidation: Ca → Ca2+ + 2e- .................(2)
Reduction: 1/2O2 + 2e- → O2-...................(3)
From, reaction 1 it can be seen that 1 mol of Ca reacts with 1/2 mol of O2 to form 1 mol of CaO.
From, reaction 2 it can be seen that 1 mol of Ca, generates 2 mol of e-.
Thus, when 1/2 mol of Ca is used in reaction, it will lose 1 mol of electrons.
Answer:
Electronegativity generally increases from left to right across a period,
Explanation:
The true statement from the given choices is that electronegativity generally increases from left to right across a period.
Electronegativity is the measure of the relative tendency with which an atom of the element attract valence electrons in a chemical bond.
Across a period electronegativity increases from left to right and decreases down the group.
This is due to reduction in metallic properties as we move across the period from left to right.
Answer:
a. 3-methylbutan-2-ol
b. 2-methylcyclohexan-1-ol
Explanation:
For this reaction, we must remember that the hydroboration is an <u>"anti-Markovnikov" reaction</u>. This means that the "OH" will be added at the <em>least substituted carbon of the double bond.</em>
In the case of <u>2-methyl-2-butene</u>, the double bond is between carbons 2 and 3. Carbon 2 has two bonds with two methyls and carbon 3 is attached to 1 carbon. Therefore <u>the "OH" will be added to carbon three</u> producing <u>3-methylbutan-2-ol</u>.
For 1-methylcyclohexene, the double bond is between carbons 1 and 2. Carbon 1 is attached to two carbons (carbons 6 and 7) and carbon 2 is attached to one carbon (carbon 3). Therefore<u> the "OH" will be added to carbon 2</u> producing <u>2-methylcyclohexan-1-ol</u>.

I hope it helps!
The decrease in velocity is called deceleration or negative acceleration.
