Q. The compound essential for the process of photosynthesis has this element

A
Fe
B
Ca
C
Mg
D
Ba
Solution:

Chlorophyll or leaf green is a porphyrin derivative with magnesium as the central atom and is hence a metal complex dye. It is present in the chloroplasts in all green parts of plants as a mixture of blue green chlorophyll a and yellow green chlorophyll b, and constitutes the catalyst for photosynthesis.

Grignard reagents are formed by the reaction of magnesium metal with alkyl or alkenyl halides. They’re extremely good nucleophiles, reacting with electrophiles such as carbonyl compounds (aldehydes, ketones, esters, carbon dioxide, etc) and epoxides.
