Has only 7 electrons so it want to bond with other elements so its very reactive and unstable. Hope this helps
Benzaldehyde or C6H5CHO would not undergo the aldol condensation because it does not contain an alpha-hydrogen in its structure. Aldol condensation is a type of reaction that happens between an enolate and an aldehyde or ketone leading to a alkene that has a planar structure. The lack of an alpha-hydrogen would not allow for it to undergo such process since it cannot enolize. Benzaldehyde undergoes a nucleophilic reaction known as Claisen-Schmidt condensation. It has somehow same mechanism of the aldol reaction however, the nucleophilic attack on the carbonyl happens even without the alpha-hydrogen but with an enolate that is from a ketone.

Explanation:
Light is a form of energy. Both ultraviolet light and xrays are part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
As was said in the question, ultraviolet rays is absorbed by the rubber. We must know that prolonged exposure of this piece of rubber to incident ultraviolet light causes the vaporization of volatile materials in the rubber.
When volatile materials in the rubber vaporize, the rubber can become solid. Thus, ultraviolet light can cause rubber to become solid.
However, not all types of light can do this hence it does matter the type of light that falls on the rubber material.
