Correct Answer: compound because the atoms of the elements are combined in a fixed proportion.

Reason:
A chemical compound is a chemical substance composed of element (of same or different type) that are bonded in a fixed proportion. Depending upon the type of element, bond can be ionic or covalent. In present case, tetrachloromethane i.e. CCl4 has one 'C' atom that is covalently bonded to four 'Cl' atoms.

Sulfur is an element that can be seen on the periodic table. What will most likely occur if sulfur forms an ionic bond with anot

Yakvenalex [24]

What is likely to occur if sulfur forms an ionic bond with another element is sulfur will accept electrons

explanation

Ionic bond is formed when a metal react with a non metal.

Metal loses ( donate) electrons to form cation ( a positively charged ion) , while non metal accept (gain) electrons to form anion ( a negatively charged ion ).

Sulfur is a non metal therefore it accept electrons if it form an ionic bond with a metal. sulfur accept 2 electrons to form S2- ion

Which aldehyde is an intermediate in the reduction of ethyl benzoate with lithium aluminum hydride?

garri49 [273]

Answer:

tetrahedral aldehyde

Explanation:

The reaction begins with a hydride nucleophile reacting with the ester carbonyl carbon to form the tetrahedral intermediate.

The carbonyl reforms to produce an aldehyde with the loss of the alkoxide ion.
The resulting aldehyde undergoes a subsequent reaction with a hydride nucleophile to form another tetrahedral intermediate. The carbonyl is not able to reform, because there are no stable leaving groups.
Therefore, the tetrahedral intermediate is protonated to produce a primary alcohol.
