Answer:
There will be 16 electrons in O2-
I suppose it false, since the oxidation involves the loss or removal of the electrons such forth it does not gain electrons.
A compound is a pure substance formed by the chemical combination of two or more different elements.
A compound may be splitted into simpler substances by chemical reactions, and has different properties to those of the elements that form it.
The composition of a compound is fixed: every piece of a compound has the same kind of atoms, bonded in the same way and proportion.
Some examples of compounds are H₂O, NaCl, H₂O₂, CH₃COOH. As you see, they have a chemical formula which states the kind and number of the atoms that form them.
They are different to mixtures, which are formed by two or more compounds, in a variable proportion, and can be separated by physical media. Some examples of mixtures are the solutions (e.g. NaCl dissolved in H₂O), and some solid mixtures (e.g. a mixture of marbles and sand).
when an ionic or covalent compound is dissolved in water they break apart into ions through process called dissociation ..the ions get attracted by the water molecules and hence they carry polar charges ..and if there is a conduction of electricity. .then we get to know that a compound is dissociated ..

The protons of methylene group between the two carbonyl groups in ethylacetoacetate are acidic in nature. When compounds containing such acidic protons are treated with bases the loose proton and form enolates.
In this particular example when ethylacetoacetate is reacted with methyl magnesium bromide, the methyl group abstracts the acidic proton and converts into
methane gas. The enolate when hydrolyzed is again converted into ethylacetoacetate as shown below,
