The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

The table compares the number of electrons in two unknown neutral atoms.

Comparison of Electrons

Atom Number of Electrons

A 9

D 11

Use this information to determine the number of valence electrons in the atoms. Which of the following correctly compares the stability of the two atoms?

A. Both are unreactive.

B. Both are highly reactive.

C. A is unreactive and D is reactive.

D. A is reactive and D is unreactive.

Answer:

B. Both are highly reactive.

Explanation:

Atomic number of electrons given is 9 and 11, it means that atom A is fluorine (F) and atom D is Sodium (Na).

In order to gain stability 8 electrons are required in outer shell. So atoms either gain or lose electrons in its outer shell to become more reactive.

Sodium has electronic configuration (2,8,1)  and easily loses one electron and become  (2, 8) which is highly reactive.

Fluorine has electronic configuration (2, 7) and can gain easily an electron and becomes reactive to form (2, 8).

So, both they both attain stability by losing and gaining only one electron.

Hence, they both are highly reactive and the correct option is B.

) A children’s liquid cold medicine has a density of 1.23 g/mL. If a child is to take 2.5 tsp in a dose, what is the mass in gra
vekshin1

The relation between density and mass and volume is

Density=\frac{Mass}{volume}

the dose required is 2.5 tsp

each tsp contain 5mL

So dose required in mL = 2.5 X 5 = 12.5 mL

the mass will be calculated using following formula

Mass=DensityXvolume

Mass=1.23\frac{g}{mL}X12.5mL= 15.38g

The mass of dose in grams will be 15.38 g

Sometimes Combination reaction takes place sometimes decomposition and sometime replacement.. Can someone say me the conditions
Rina8888 [55]

Whenever any substance goes under chemical change so any of the reaction will happen either both or multiple compounds will combine to produce combination reaction either one compound will decompose itself into 2 or more compounds or elements and last one is replacement reaction the either reaction is not even going to combination nor decomposition, So when a reaction like that happens it must replacement reaction.

Now the question is what's the condition required for it, so basically a chemical reaction when takes place it depends upon several factor on the basis of which we conclude products. The factors are Temperature,catalyst,reagents, either what is the mechanism of reaction, stability of reactants and stability of products and alot more.

During reaction sometimes gas forms and sometimes not yea and well that also depends on the chemical reactivity and stability of product sometimes product found itself most stable releasing the gas evolving so it's been done itself and sometimes we add catalyst and adjust the reaction to extract that gas and get desirable product manually.

I wrote all i know if sorry if this is not what you're looking for :(

<h3><u>Full Question:</u></h3>

The following compound has been found effective in treating pain and inflammation (J. Med. Chem. 2007, 4222). Which sequence correctly ranks each carbonyl group in order of increasing reactivity toward nucleophilic addition?

A) 1 < 2 < 3

B) 2 < 3 < 1

C) 3 < 1 < 2

D) 1 < 3 < 2

<h3><u>Answer: </u></h3>

The rate of nucleophilic attack of carbonyl compounds is 2<3 <1.

Option B

<h3><u>Explanation. </u></h3>

Nucleophilic attack is explained as the attack of an electron rich radical to a carbonyl compound like aldehyde or a ketone. A nucleophile has a high electron density, so it searches for a electropositive atom where it can donate a portion of its electron density and become stable.

A carbonyl compound is a sp^2 hybridized carbon atom with a double bonded oxygen atom in it. The oxygen atom pulls a huge portion of electron density from carbon being very electropositive.

In a ketone, there are two factors that make it less likely to undergo a nucleophilic attack than aldehyde. Firstly, the steric hindrance of two carbon groups being attached with the carbonyl carbon makes it harder for the nucleophile to approach. Secondly, the electron push by the carbon groups attached makes the carbonyl carbon a bit less electropositive than the aldehyde one. So aldehydes are more reactive towards a nucleophilic addition reaction.
