Compound A (C 7H 11Br) is treated with magnesium in ether to give B (C 7H 11MgBr), which reacts violently with D 2O to give 1-methylcyclohexene with a deuterium atom on the methyl group C. Reaction of B with acetone (CH 3COCH 3) followed by hydrolysis gives D (C 10H 18O). Heating D with concentrated H 2SO 4 gives E (C 10H 16), which decolorizes two equivalents of Br 2 to give F (C 10H 16Br 2). E undergoes hydrogenation with excess H 2 and a Pt catalyst to give isobutylcyclohexane. Determine the structures of compounds A through F, and show your reasoning throughout.

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.

the answer is a! (2.9 x 10^-18 j) hope i could someone. : )
