Answer: 2

Explanation: Potassium, K, has only 1 valence electron, 4s^1.  Oxygen, O, needs 2 more electrons to complete its valence shell to make 8 electrons.  That means 2 K atoms will combine with 1 O atom, to produce K2O, potassium oxide.  Both K electrons are stolen by the single O atom, so 2 electrons are transferred.

What is the splitting of the signal in the 1H NMR spectrum for the methyl protons of 1-bromo-2-methylpropane?
Arada [10]

Answer:

doublet

Explanation:

Proton MNR is used for the determination of no. of equivalents protons in a molecule

In the molecule, single NMR signal is produced for each set of protons.

Signal splitting is called spin-spin coupling and the splitting of signals depends upon the no. of neighboring proton.

The no. of signal for a proton is equal to n+1, where n is neighboring protons.

In 1-bromo-2-methylpropane, neighboring proton for both methyl protons are one. But the chemical environment of both the methyl protons are different.

Neighboring proton for methyl protons = 1

No. of signal for methyl protons = 1+1 =2

Hence, two doublets will be generated for each set of methyl protons. protons.
