This molecule undergoes a substitution reaction through an SN1 pathway when warmed and stirred with HBr. Draw the two substitution products of this reaction. Show the correct stereochemistry by using wedges and dashes at all chiral centers. In part two, select the term that correctly describes the relationship between the products.

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: )
