Which element will gain one electron in an ionic bond?
2 answers:
Answer:
C. Bromine
Explanation:In ionic bond , the metals looses electron and the non metal gains electron.
In the given options ;
Aluminum (Al)= METAL
Copper (Cu) = METAL
Bromine (Br) = NON METAL
Oxygen (O) = NON METAL
That leaves us with bromine and oxygen.
Oxygen has an electronic configuration of 2,6.(see image).
So oxygen needs to gain two electrons.
Bromine has one valence electron ( see image).
So therefore , Bromine needs to gain one electron as It is in Group VII

First reaction is carried out in acid which increases the reactivity of carboxylic acid (electrophilicity odf carbonyl carbon). And second reaction is carried out in the presence of Base, which increases the Nucleophilicity of nucleophile i.e. Alcohols.
Answer: Mixture
Explanation:
Element is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements.
Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.
Mixture is a substance which has two or more components which do not combine chemically and do not have any fixed ratio in which they are present. Example: Air which conatins a mixture of ,
