The conversion of cyclohexene to trans-1,2-cylohexanediol is an oxidation reaction. Alkenes are oxidized in the presence of potassium permanganate and acids to yield the corresponding diols.
These diols may also be called glycols. They are molecules that contain two -OH(hydroxyl) groups per molecule. The reaction closely resembles the addition of the two -OH groups of hydrogen peroxide to an alkene.
The bright color of potassium permanganate disappears in this reaction so it can be used as a test for alkenes.
Nothing will happen as long as the magnitude of charges remains same...
Explanation:
We know that protons are 1836 times more massive than electrons but they have same magnitude of charge overall. So, if we reverse the polarities the system would still be stable as long as the magnitudes of charges are stable and vice versa.
The word filling the space is "hydroxyl".<span> <span>The complete sentence will be as below:
The hydroxyl functional group can always be found in a carbohydrate molecule. The
chemical formula of hydroxyl group OH. As the formula shows it is a
bounding of Oxygen (O) and Hydrogen (H) = (OH) </span></span>
