Heptane means seven carbon atoms and since the general formula is CnH2n+2, heptane will be C7H16

Solution:
Reduction potential of metal ions are provided below. Higher the value to reduction potential, greater is the tendency of metal to remain in reduced state.
In present case,
reduction potential of Au is maximum, hence it is least prone to undergo oxidation. Hence, it is
least reactive.
On other hand,
reduction potential of Na is minimum, hence it is most prone to undergo oxidation. Hence, it is
most reactive.
The proton which is easily abstracted in
1-Benzyl-3-propylbenzene is the proton which is present on carbon atom in between two phenyl rings, or the central carbon which is shared by two benzene rings.
This easy abstraction of proton is due to its high acidity. Remember those species are always more acidic whose
conjugate base is stable. Like the acidity of carboxylic acid is due to stability of the
acetate ion.
In our case the stability of conjugate base arises due to
stability of negative ion due to resonance. As shown below, the negative charge can delocalize on both rings.
I have shown the resonance of negative ion on both Phenyl rings with
Blue and
Pink colors.<span />
False, it must be either empty or filled with electrons order to be most stable.
