Butan-2-ol can be produced as a result of reducing butanone with NaBH4. The hydride ion in NaBH4 is used as a nucleophile which can attack the C on the (C=O )either above or below the plane, depending on the...

1s 2 2s 2 2p 6 Na+ has +1 positive charge and therefore it has lost an electron.It loses its one electron in its 3s orbital as that electron is at the highest energy - highest energy electrons are the first ...

Phenylamine is a weaker base than ammonia. The lone pair on the nitrogen of phenylamine is delocalised into the ring, thus making the lone pair less available to combine with hydrogen ions. Also, in order fo...

Stage 1 -Bonding 1a) Each C has three (covalent) bonds 1b) Spare electrons (in a p orbital) overlap (to form a pi cloud) 1c) delocalisation Stage 2 -Shape 2a) Planar 2b) Hexagon/6 carbon ring/120o bond angle...

The electron configuration is:{Ar]4s13d10Copper donates one of the electrons in its S orbital to the d orbital in order to make itself more stableCopper 2+ is [Ar]3d9The 4s electrons are lost first as they a...
