Sodium nitrite (NaNO2)reacted with 2−iodooctane to give a mixture of two constitutionally isomeric compounds of molecular formula C8H17NO2in a combined yield of 88%. Draw reasonable structures for these two isomers.

Sodium nitrite react with 2 - iodooctane to give mixture of 2 - nitrooctane and 2 - nitritooctane.

Explanation:

In NaNO₂  ,  NO₂⁻ used as a nucleophile

underogoes nucleophilic substitution reaction with 2- iodooctane

gives two possible products.

answer:

the answer is 6 valence electrons.

explanation:

valence is the # of electrons on the outer most shell of an atom.

oxygen has 6.

although, the valency of oxygen is 2, because it only needs to make 2 covalent bonds, or gain 2 electrons, to achieve the stable octet configuration of a noble gas.

that's it!

if you need further assistance, let me know: )
