Draw the major organic product formed in the reaction. (The reaction stoichiometry is 1 mol reactant: 1 mol Br2 .)

Explanation:

The treatment of aldehyde or ketone in the presence of acetic acid with one mole of bromine results in ∝-halo aldehyde or ketone. However, the bromination of ketone undergoes acidic conditions. Hence, the reaction of the ketone with Bromine resulting in the Major Product is shown in the image attached below.

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: )
