Answer:

-Atoms are neutral; they contain the same number of protons as electrons. By definition, an ion is an electrically charged particle produced by either removing electrons from a neutral atom to give a positive ion or adding electrons to a neutral atom to give a negative ion.

-An atom has an equal number of protons and electrons. An ion has an imbalance between the number of protons and electrons.

-An atom has no electrical charge. Ions have an electrical charge because they have an imbalance of protons and electrons.

Complete the mechanism for the cleavage of the ether by adding any missing atoms, bonds, charges, nonbonding electrons, and curv

Anna [14]

This reaction is known as Acidic Cleavage of Ether. Ether when treated with strong acid like HI, the oxygen atom of ether picks the proton making a positive charge on oxygen. The Iodide conjugate base formed acts as a nucleophile and attacks on the carbon next to positive oxygen and forms Alkyl Halide. This is a type of SN² reaction. The complete reaction with missing atoms, charges and arrows is shown below,
