Answer:

That means an atom with a neutral charge is one where the number of electrons is equal to the atomic number. Ions are atoms with extra electrons or missing electrons. When you are missing an electron or two, you have a positive charge. When you have an extra electron or two, you have a negative charge.

Answer:

H3C - O - O - CH -HCOCH2.

Explanation:

Before chemical reaction can occur, some steps has to be followed in order to give the final product (s), this steps can be shown by drawing the chemical compound and showing how bonds are being broken or formed. Showing this in a stepwise manner is known as reaction mechanism.

From the question above, it is given that the products after heating the reactant gives H3C—0. +.0—CH HCO CH2.

The starting material can be deduce as;

H3C - O - O - CH -HCOCH2.

Heat causes something to divide or melt. Kindly check the attached picture which shows how the deduced starting compound splits to give H3C—0. and .0—CH HCO CH2.
