draw a detailed mechanism, using curved arrow notation, for the synthesis of the knoevenagel condensation intermediate product, from the reaction of salicylaldehyde and ethyl malonate. please include all necessary reagents in your mechanism.(6 pts)g

alkaline metals are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium and francium.

alkali metals have electronegativity from 0.7 to 1, lowest in periodic table of elements, which means that alkali metals (i group in periodic table) has positive oxidation number in compounds.

electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons,

for example, potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉k 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

they can not exist alone in nature, because they are very reactive.

so what is the problem with your lab report and whats the subject of the lab report? i will you

it is stable as it is in group 0 which have full outer shells of electrons
