Suppose you were to take an IR spectra of your hydrogenated product and compare it to an IR spectra of your starting material (olive oil). How would you know whether or not your hydrogenation reaction was successful

ca has a crystalline lattice with positive ions (since it is a metal, metals are positively charged) and electrons flow freely in its structure since the ca atoms have a large nuclear radius so the electrons are not tightly held, therefore the electrons can flow freely since they are not being highly attracted by the nucleus. moreover, one of the properties of metals are that they are conductors of electricity, thus proving ca is the element.

it's 3.2 on edge, i just took the test.
