Concept explainers
a.
To determine:
If the given organic reaction involves condensation, hydrolysis, oxidation or reduction.
Introduction:
Atoms consist of three subatomic particles namely proton, electron, and neutron. Out of these subatomic particles only electrons are involved in bonding. The formation of a bond between two species always due to the involvement of electrons either it undergoes loss of electrons or gains of electrons.
