Chemistry

mariarad [96]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

When an atom is neutral then number of protons equal number of electrons. Therefore, a neutral atom with 4 protons and 4 neutrons will also have 4 electrons.

It is known that when an atom gain electrons then it acquires a negative charge and when an atom loses electrons then it acquires a positive charge.

Therefore, when the given neutral atom gains 2 electrons then it will acquire a negative charge.

Malic acid, C4H6O5, has been isolated from apples. Because this compound reacts with 2 molar equivalents of base, it is a dicarb
Flura [38]

Answer and explanation:

The attached figure shows five different structures for the chemical formula C4H5O5, but only one of these structures represent the malic acid.

Malic acid is a dicarboxylic acid, this means malic acid has two

-COOH groups.  Also, malic acid is a secundary alcohol, which means it has a  R2-C-OH group.

-Structure A has two carboxylic groups, but it doesn´t have a secundary alcohol.

-Structure B doesn´t have any caborxylic group.

-Structure C has two carboxylic groups and  it is a secundary alcohol. Structure C is the Malic acid
