The answer is transition metals because they have no specific charge except for 1 or 2 of them
Energy is stored in chemical bonds during photosynthesis.
During photosynthesis, the radiant energy from the sun is converted to chemical energy in carbohydrates.
Inorganic materials in the form of carbon dioxide and oxygen combine to form carbohydrates in the presence of radiant energy according to the equation below:

The energy is thus, stored in chemical bonds in the carbohydrate and this is what is oxidized during respiration to release the locked energy.

Explanation:
Given -
- An organic compound gives H₂ gas with Na
- On treatment with alkaline iodine it gives yellow ppt.
- On oxidation with CrO₃/H⁺ forms an aldehyde (C₂H₄O)
To Find -
- Name the compound and write the reaction involved
Now,
Let A be the organic compound.
Then,
- A + Na → + H₂↑
- A + I₂ → CHI₃ (yellow ppt.)
- A + CrO₃ + H⁺ → C₂H₄O
Now,
Here we see that compound A reacts with chromic oxide (CrO₃) in the presence of acidic medium gives aldehyde.
- Functional group of aldehyde = —CHO
And It forms only 2 Carbon aldehyde it means, It is Ethanal (CH₃CHO).
Compound A reacts with chromic oxide (CrO₃) in the presence of acidic medium gives ethanal.
It means,
We know that 1° alcohol on oxidation gives aldehyde.
Here it gives 2 Carbon aldehyde.
It means,
Here 2 Carbon and 1° alcohol is used.
Now,
Its cleared that Compound A is Ethanol.
Reaction Involved -
- CH₃CH₂OH + Na → CH₃CH₂O⁻Na⁺ + H₂↑
- CH₃CH₂OH + I₂ + OH⁻ → CHI₃↓ + HCOO⁻ + HI + H₂O
- CH₃CH₂OH + CrO₃ + H⁺ → CH₃CHO
Ionic compounds generally occur between metals and non-metals due to their large electronegativity difference. You can simple go down Group 1 and Group 17 of the periodic table.
Examples:
NaCl (Sodium Chloride)
KCl (Potassium Chloride)
RbCl (Rubidium Chloride)
CsCl (Cesium Chloride)
