The charge would be -2 because there are 2 more electrons than protons, and electrons have a negative charge.
D. a compound can only be separated into its components by chemical means
Matter is the basic unit of every thing in the world, whether living or nonliving. So, it is logical to set definitions and postulates because these could pave way to other complexities of science. It is the foundation of science. That is why theories and laws are formulated for matter such as: Kinetic Theory of Matter, Dalton's Atomic Model, Newton's Law of Motion, Conservation Laws and many more.
Answer:
Reagents: 1) 
2) 
, 
Mechanism: Hydroboration
Explanation:
In this case, we have a <u>hydration of alkene</u>s reaction. But, in this example, we have an <u>anti-Markovnikov reaction</u>. In other words, the "OH" is added in the least substituted carbon. Therefore we have to choose an anti-Markovnikov reaction: <u>"hydroboration"</u>.
The <u>first step</u> of this reaction is the addition of borane () to the double bond. Then in the <u>second step</u>, we have the deprotonation of the hydrogen peroxide, to obtain the peroxide anion. In the <u>third step</u>, the peroxide anion attacks the molecule produced in the first step to produce a complex compound in which we have a bond "
". In <u>step number 4</u> we have the migration of the C-B bond to oxygen. Then in <u>step number 5</u>, we have the attack of on the 
to produce an alkoxide. Finally, the water molecule produce in step 2 will <u>protonate</u> the molecule to produce the alcohol.
See figure 1
