(b) Draw the structure of the products when cyclopentene is reacted with: (i) Cold alkaline KMnO4

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

When an alkene is reacted with cold, dilute and alkaline KMnO4, the product of the reaction is a 1,2-diol (vicinal diol). The products exhibit a “syn” stereochemistry with the addition of the two -OH groups to the same side of the alkene.

The reaction of cyclopentene with cold, dilute, alkaline KMnO4 is shown in the image attached.

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: )
