Refer to the table below. Credits to https://terpconnect.umd.edu/~wbreslyn/chemistry/naming/IonicCharge2.jpg 

Cations with (+ ) charges lose electrons in order to obtain an octet (8 valence electrons) when they ionically bond with another ion.  We're looking for the ions that loses electrons here. So, from the table: 

Al 3+ , S 2- , O 2-, Ag + , Ne ( noble gas, no charge) 

Since Al and Ag has (+) charges, they are going to lose electrons to form ionic bonds with other atoms.

Identify the element in C6H12O6 that allows it to be classified as an organic compound.
Alja [10]

Answer:

Carbon (C)

Explanation:

Organic chemistry is generally defined as the chemistry of carbon compounds. In order words, organic compounds are those compounds that contain carbon.

However, one characteristic of organic compounds is that in organic compounds, carbon links to itself to form long chains. This property is known as catenation. When we look at the compound. There are six carbon to carbon linkages. This is typical of organic compounds. Hence the substance is an organic compound.

The substrate is the same in parts a and b, however the mechanism that proceeds is different. Explain how the choice of solvent
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The reaction of a benzyl bromide with a nucleophile may proceed by SN1 or SN2 mechanism depending on the nature of the solvent used.

Since SN1 reaction involves the formation of a carbocation, it usually predominates in the presence of a poor nucleophiles and protic solvents. Hence when methanol is used as solvent and a poor nucleophile is used, SN1 mechanism predominates.

However, when acetone which is an aprotic solvent is used in the presence of a good nucleophile, SN2 reaction mechanism predominates.
