Answer:

A. Alternating single and double bonds

Explanation:

Hydrocarbons i.e. hydrogen and carbon containing compounds, are grouped into two namely: aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons. Aliphatic hydrocarbons contains straight or branched chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms in their structure e.g. alkanes, alkenes etc.

On the other hand, aromatic hydrocarbons are cyclic hydrocarbons containing one or more cyclic rings. The benzene ring is the basis of all aromatic hydrocarbons and one characteristics of benzene is that it possesses an alternating single (-) and double bonds (=) in their structure.

Since benzene is a building constituent of aromatic hydrocarbons, an "alternating single and double bond" is a characteristics of aromatic hydrocarbons.

Mg + I2 arrow MgI2 <br> which is the oxidizing agent, and which is the reducing agent
never [62]
When you oxidize something you are removing electrons
When you reduce something you're adding electrons
So the one that is gaining electrons is oxidizing the other substance by taking away relectrons from it and the one losing electrons is reducing the other substance by adding electrons to it.
You can figure out which is which by looking at the charge of each substance
Mg has a charge of 2+ because it had 2 electrons in its outer shell which it will lose to have a full outer shell.
I has a charge of -1 because it has 7 electrons in its outer shell and it gains 1 to have a full outer shell.
Mg is giving electrons to I so it's reducing it and is the reducing agent
I is taking electrons from Mg so it's oxidizing it and is the oxidizing agent.
