Answer:

SOCl2, Mg, CH3CHO, H3O^+

Explanation:

The reaction of the 2,2-dimethylpropan-1-ol with SOCl2 converts the alcohol to an alkyl halide. This now reacts with Mg metal to yield a Grignard reagent.

The Grignard reagent reacts with CH3CHO and acid to yield 4,4-dimethylpentan-2-ol as shown in the image attached to this answer.

What is the number of the group that has the most reactive nonmetals (give number and letter- Ex 1A, 2A, etc.)?

Kryger [21]

Answer:

Group 7A

Explanation:

The group 7A elements consists of the most reactive non-metals on the periodic table.

This group is known as the group of halogens. They consist of element fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and astatine.

The elements in this group have the highest electronegativity values.
They have 7 valence electrons and requires just one electron to complete their octets.
This way, they are highly reactive in their search for that single electron.

What happens to the number of valence electrons as you move up a group

Advocard [28]

Ionization Energy: DOWN a Group: Ionization energy DECREASES as you go DOWN a Group because the farther the valence electrons are from the nucleus (pulling power of the protons) the less energy it costs another atom to steal them
