Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Each of the given species are to be classified as acidic, basic, or amphoteric.
Concept Introduction:
Elements combine with oxygen atom(s) to form oxides. They, then, react with water to either produce an acid or a base.
In their low oxidation number, all alkali and alkaline metal oxides are basic in nature.
Some metal oxides, in a high oxidation state, show acidic behavior.
All nonmetal oxides are acidic in nature in their highest oxidation state. They are considerably neutral in their low oxidation state. In any case, nonmetal oxides do not show a basic nature.
Metallic oxides show acidic as well as basic natures, according to the reaction conditions. These are called amphoteric oxides.

- As the lead product manager at OrganometALEKS Industries, you are trying to decide if the following reaction will make a molecule with a new C-C bond as its major product: 1. MgCl ? 2. H₂O* If this reaction will work, draw the major organic product or products you would expect in the drawing area below. If there's more than one major product, you can draw them in any arrangement you like. Be sure you use wedge and dash bonds if necessary, for example to distinguish between major products with different stereochemistry. If the major products of this reaction won't have a new CC bond, just check the box under the drawing area and leave it blank. Click and drag to start drawing a structure. This reaction will not make a product with a new CC bond.
