Answer:

To gain stability.

Explanation:

Atoms are stable when they have complete octet means they have 8 valance electrons.

The halogens elements are present  in group seventeen. All atoms of halogen elements have seven valance electrons. They need one more electron to complete the octet and get stable.

That's why all halogens atoms are very reactive because they react with other atoms complete the octet and present in the form of diatomic molecule.

The halogen atoms react with metals and form ionic compound.

For example:

Sodium chloride is ionic compound. The electronegativity of chlorine is 3.16 and for sodium is 0.93. There is large difference is present. That's why electron from sodium is transfer to the chlorine. Sodium becomes positive and chlorine becomes negative ion.  Both atoms are combine by electrostatic attraction.

A.  Peroxide breaking down into water and oxygen

This is a chemical change.

B . Bubbles forming when a pot of water is heated

This is a physical change

C. A pair of jeans soaked in water drying after hanging outside

Answer:

C. Biodiesel made from plant oil.

Explanation:

The  type of vegetable oil used in production greatly affects the performance of biodiesel in the winter. The less saturated the fat, the better the performance in winter time. Canola oil works very well for low temperature biodiesel, and palm oil is among the worst for cold weather performance.

During the reaction of molecular bromine with 2,2,3-trimethyl pentane initiated by heat or light hydrogen atom will be abstracte
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:carbon number 3 of the parent chain

Explanation:

CH3CH2CH(CH3)C(CH3)2CH3.

Looking at the structural formula of the above compound, the carbon on position 3, in the parent chain is a tertiary carbon atom. The reaction in question proceeds by free radical mechanism. Hydrogen is first abstracted from the carbon atom that leads to te formation of the most stable carbocation. For this reason, hydrogen is abstracted from carbon 3 of the parent chain.
