b. that are radioactive.
c. with a magnetic charge.
d. with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons

18. use the activity series to predict whether the following synthesis reaction will occur. write the chemical equations for the reaction if it's predicted to occur. (s) + o2(g) -> *note: it is possible.*

The scheme below is from a series of reactions that are part of a synthesis of vitamin a. answer the following questions with reference to this scheme. (i) what is "reagent a"? (ii) draw a step-by-step mechanism which explains the formation of compound c from compound b (iii) which reagents would you use to form compound e from compounds c and d (reagents b and c)? for each reagent suggested above in (ii) explain the role of the reagent in the reaction to (iv) form compound e. you may wish to do this by drawing a mechanism. 1. addition of reagent a но reagent a 2. н,о" thо oh нон-с compound a. compound b. compound c .ch-оh 1. reagent b "сно 2. reagent c сh oh compound e. compound d.

The atomic number, or number, is the described as the number of in the nucleus of an chemical element.
