Answer» Sodium metal reacts rapidly with water to form a colourless solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). The RESULTING solution is basic because of the dissolved hydroxide. ... During the reaction, the sodium metal may WELL become so hot that it catches fire and BURNS with a characteristic ORANGE colourA carbon–oxygen bond is a polar covalent bond between carbon and oxygen. Oxygen has 6 valence electrons and prefers to EITHER share two electrons in bonding with carbon, leaving the 4 nonbonding electrons in 2 lone pairs :O: or to share two pairs of electrons to form the carbonyl functional group |
