I remember learning this last y’all i jus don’t remember it might be A or C
Answer:
3 e⁻ transfer has occurred.
Explanation
This is a redox reaction.
- Oxidation (loss of electrons or increase in the oxidation state of entity)
- Reduction (gain of electrons or decrease in the oxidation state of the entity)
- An element undergoes oxidation or reduction in order to achieve a stable configuration. It can be an octet or duplet configuration. An octet configuration is that of outer shell configuration of noble gas.
- [Ne]= (1s²) (2s² 2p⁶)
A combination of both the reactions( Half-reactions) leads to a redox reaction.
Let us look at initial configurations of Al and Cl
[Al]= 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p¹
[Cl]= 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵
Hence, Al can lose 3 electrons to achieve octet config.
and, Cl can gain 1e to achieve nearest noble gas config. [Ar]
This reaction can be rewritten, by clearly mentioning the oxidation states of all the entities involved.
Al⁰ + Cl⁰ → (Al⁺³)(Cl⁻)₃
Here, Aluminum is undergoing an oxidation(i.e loss of electrons) from: 0→(+3)
Chlorine undergoes a reduction half reaction (i.e gain of electrons) from: 0→(-1). There are 3 such chlorine atoms, hence 3 e⁻ transfer has occurred.
Answer:
water was added to powdered rock
Explanation:
Water combines with carbon dioxide to produce slightly acidic groundwater
that dissolves limestone and forms caves.
This is because the reaction between water and carbondioxide to form
bicarbonate ions( HCO₃⁻). The bicarbonate ions dissociate into Hydrogen
atoms thereby increasing the acidity.
The acidic environment results in the formation of acidic groundwater that
dissolves limestone and forms caves.

Answer:
A: element B
B: element A
C: element B
D: element A
Explanation:
decrease in size leads increase in electronegativity because the smaller the size, the closer the shell is to the nucleus. Also, atomic radius decreases to the right and up on the periodic table. Atomic radius increases to the left and down a period. I hope this helps!
