Answer: The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom of that element.

Explanation: the atomic number of an element is simply the proton number of that element. This is the most reason while the ion of a particular element still retain its atomic number whether it gains or loss electrons. For example, sodium atom (Na) has 11 electrons, 11 protons and 12 neutrons. Sodium ion (Na+) on the other hand has 10 electrons because it loss one electron, 11 proton and 12 neutrons. If the atomic number was to be determined by the number of electrons, then the atomic number of sodium atom and sodium ion would have been different. So the best way to determine the atomic number is by the number of protons. Neutron number will only bring about isotope and not atomic number

emmainna [20.7K]

Dehydration is removal of water.

In alcohols dehydration is α-β elimination or 1,2 elimination, it means the hydroxyl group will be removed from α-carbon while the hydrogen will be removed from near by carbon.

In case of neopentyl alcohol there is no β hydrogen present on the β carbon [as shown in figure].

The only possible way for it to undergo dehydration is by rearrangement.

The process or mechanism can be understood as:


so the chief product is 2-methylbut-2-ene

What happens in the redox reaction below? Select all that apply.
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

B- Sodium loses an electron.

D- Fluorine gains an electron.

Sodium is oxidized.

Explanation:

The reaction equation is given as:

        Na  + F →  NaF

In this reaction, Na is the reducing agent. It loses an electron and then becomes oxidized. By so doing, Na becomes isoelectronic with Neon.

Fluorine gains the electron and then becomes reduced. This makes fluorine also isoelectronic with Neon.

This separation of charges on the two species leads to an electrostatic attraction which forms the ionic bonds.

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Row 1

[H^+]=1.8\times 10^{-6}M

pH=-\log[H^+]=-\log[1.8\times 10^{-6}]=5.7

pOh=14-pH=14-5.7=8.3

pOH=-\log[OH^-]

[OH^-]=0.5\times 10^{-8}M

Hence, acidic

Row 2

[OH^-]=3.6\times 10^{-10}M

pOH=-\log[OH^-]=-\log[3.6\times 10^{-10}]=9.4

pH=14-pOH=14 - 9.4 = 4.6

pH=-\log[H^+]

[H^+]=2.6\times 10^{-5}M

Hence, acidic

Row 3

pH = 8.15

[H^+]=0.7\times 10^{-8}M

pOH=14-pH=14 - 8.15 = 5.8

pOH=-\log[OH^-]

[OH^-]=1.5\times 10^{-6}M

Hence, basic

Row 4

pOH = 5.70

[OH^-]=1.8\times 10^{-6}M

pH=14-pOH=14 - 5.70 = 8.3

pH=-\log[H^+]

[H^+]=0.5\times 10^{-8}M

Hence, basic
