Answer: Oxygen usually forms two covalent bonds or a covalent double bond.

Explanation:

A covalent bond is formed by the sharing of 2 electrons, 1 electron from each of the atoms sharing their electrons.

The number of bonds that each element can form depends on the number of valence (outermost) electrons it contains. Oxygen has 6 electrons in its valence shell and needs 2 more electrons thereby forming a double bond.

Which pair of reactants will undergo aldol condensation to produce methylvinyl ketone?

xenn [34]

When formaldehyde and acetone then react with each other( aldol condensation) then it will be formed methyl vinyl ketone.

In organic chemistry, an aldol condensation would be a condensation reaction in which an enol and enolate ion combines with a carbonyl chemical to produce a -hydroxy aldehyde or -hydroxy ketone, that is then dehydrated to produce a conjugated enone.

In aldol condensation, when formaldehyde and acetone then react with each other then it will be formed methyl vinyl ketone.

It can be written as

$CH_{2} O + CH_{3} COCH_{3}$ → $HOCH_{2} -CH_{2} -CO-CH_{3}$
