Ketones can be converted to carboxylic acids by reacting them with sodium hydroxide and elements from this group of the periodic table.
Ketones can be converted to carboxylic acids by reacting them with sodium hydroxide and elements from this group of the periodic table. An element in this group yields two peaks of equal height separated by two mass units in mass spectrometry. Mercury and an element from this group are the only two elements liquid at STP and every element in this group is diatomic at STP. They have the highest electron affinity, and one of their members is the most electronegative element. Elements in this group acquire one additional electron to fill their p orbitals and form "minus 1" ions. For 10 points, name this group of elements that includes bromine and fluorine.
