Answer:

E²⁺

Explanation:

The group two contain alkaline earth metals.

There are six elements in group 2A.

Beryllium, Magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium and radium.

All members have two valance electrons.

They lose two valance electrons to complete the octet.

When they lose the two valance electrons they form cation X²⁺.

They react with halogens and form salt such as

MgCl₂, CaCl₂ etc.

Mg²⁺ Cl²⁻₂

The oxidation state of halogens are -1, while the elements of group two A shows +2 that's why two atoms of halogen are combine with one atom of alkaline earth metals and make the compound overall neutral.

All the alkaline earth metals have similar properties.

Answer:

cis-3-hexene and trans-3-hexene

Explanation:

Hydroboration oxidation is a method of preparation of alcohol from alkene.

Hydroboration follows anti-Markovnikoff rule in which alcohol group attached to less substituted carbon. Stereochemistry of the product is always syn that is H and OH attached to the same side of the double bond.

cis-3-hexene and trans-3-hexene undergoes hydroboration to form 3-hexanol.

Which property best indicates that a compound contains an ionic bond?

notka56 [123]

Ionic bond is characterized by the complete transfer of valence electrons between atoms. In this kind of bond, a metal loses its electron in order to become a cation while the nonmetal accept the electron resulting to an anion.
