Electrons in an atom are found on different electron shells depending on how much energy they possess, and they determine how atoms will interact with each other. The outermost electron shell holds the valance electrons.
A functional group is a group of atoms that determines many of the properties of an organic molecule.
For example functional group for alcohol is hydroxyl group (-OH) and for carboxylic acid is <span>carboxyl group (-COOH).
</span>Alpha carbon is <span>the first </span>carbon<span> atom after the carbon that attaches to the functional group.</span>
You just need the number of protons and number of neutrons as the mass of eelctrons is negligible
Answer:1 Answer. A chemical equation is balanced when the number of each kind of atom is the same on both sides of the reaction,,
