We have to get the product of the addition reaction between butanal and water.

The product of the addition reaction between butanal and water is the gem di-ol which is unstable and it produces the reactant i.e. butanal only.

The reaction is shown in the figure.

From the figure we can see that in the addition reaction there the –C atom of the –CHO (aldehyde group) possess two –OH (hydroxyl group) as a product (gem-diol) of addition reaction, which is highly unstable and water molecule are regenerate to form the reactant i.e. butanal again.

Which of the following is a difference between electromagnetic waves and sound waves?

-BARSIC- [3]

Sound waves are longitudinal waves that is, are transmitted in the same direction of oscillation of the particles in the medium. Electromagnetic waves are transverse ie, the electric and magnetic fields, which are perpendicular to each other, oscillate perpendicularly to the direction of wave propagation.

What electrically neutral atom has 30 neutrons and 25 electrons?

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Manganese (Mn)

Explanation:

We know it's manganese because we are told it is an electrically neutral atom. This means it has the same number of protons and electrons. If it has 25 electrons, it has 25 protons. Protons tell us the atomic number of the atom, which also tells us the name of the element. Manganese is element 25 on the periodic table.
