In the separation of t-amyl chloride from the reaction mixture, what is the purpose of each wash? a) cold water (part 1, steps 7) b) sodium bicarbonate (part 1; steps 8) c) cold water (part 1; steps 9)

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: )
