What is the charge on an electrically neutral atom of hydrogen?. . A. 1. . B. 0. . C. +1. . D. +2.
2 answers:
When the number of electron and number of protons are equal in the atom then the atom is said to be an electrically neutral atom. The loss of electron will result in the formation of cation and the atom will possess positive charge which is equal to the number of electrons lost whereas the gain of electron will result in the formation of anion and the atom will possess negative charge which is equal to the number of electrons gained.
The electrically neutral atom have 0 charge as the number of protons and electrons are equal.
For electrically neutral atom of hydrogen, the number of electron =1 and the number of proton = 1.
Hence, the charge on an electrically neutral atom of hydrogen is 0.

Answer:
Ether
SN1 mechanism
Explanation:
The nucleophile in this reaction is CH3OH. It is a poor nucleopile. We already know that a poor nucleophile reacting with a tertiary alkyl halide often leads to the substitution product as the major product.
Also, the iodide ion is a good leaving group. This makes the SN1 substitution more likely yielding the ether as the major product as shown in the image attached.
