Correct answer: has a completely filled outermost shell
Atoms of the element with complete outermost shells are stable. So, in order to attain stability the atom either loses electrons or gains electrons to completely fill the outermost shell. The stable electronic configuration for the s and p-block elements is exhibited by the noble gases or the group 8 elements. All the unstable atoms try to attain the electronic configuration of the nearest noble gas with completely filled outermost shell.
Answer: the product is ketone or aldehyde
Explanation:
The first step is the conversion of acetal to hemiacetal in the presence of H3O+/ ROH, and then the final conversion of hemiacetal to ketone/aldehyde using
H3O+/ ROH...
Attached is the structural conversion
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
Cations are much smaller than their corresponding parent
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- Parent atom has more electrons and thus the effective nuclear charge on each electron is less.
- When a cation is formed electron(s) is/are lost. Thus the effective nuclear charge or simply put, the attraction of the nucleus towards the electrons increases. Therefore, due to greater pull, the nucleus pulls the shells towards it, there by reducing the size, which makes cations smaller than their corresponding parent.

Answer:</h3>
True, the reaction given is an example of a synthesis reaction
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
- Synthesis reactions are reactions where two or more substances combine to form a single compound.
- The reaction 2NO(g) + O₂(g) → 2NO₂(g) is an example of a synthesis reaction.
Other types of chemical reactions may include;
- Decomposition reaction in which a compound is broken down into smaller compounds or individual elements.
- Replacement reaction where reactive elements replace other less reactive elements in their salts.
- Precipitation reactions in which soluble salts reacts to form a precipitate and a soluble salt as a result of exchange of anions and cations.
I think C or OF2.I sorry if I was wrong.
