The highest sequence for this shell is the number 2, preceding both the s and p in the diagram. This means that the outermost shell is the second level shell. In this shell, there are 7 electrons, 2 in the 2s orbital and 5 in the 2p orbital.
As a side note (not sure if this is a typo), the electron structure for fluorine begins with a 1s2, not a 1s1.
Answer:
Anode:
3Mg(s) ----------> 3Mg2+(aq) + 6e
Cathode:
2Al3+(aq) +6e ---------> 2Al(s)
Explanation:
Anode:
3Mg(s) ----------> 3Mg2+(aq) + 6e
Cathode:
2Al3+(aq) +6e ---------> 2Al(s)
Magnesium is more electro positive than aluminum hence it functions as the anode. Six electrons are lost/gained in the redox process as shown in the oxidation and reduction half reaction equations above. Magnesium is oxidized to magnesium ion while aluminum is reduced to elemental aluminum.
