Atomic radii increase when going down a group and decreases when going towards the anion periods. So A and D.
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.
Just look it up on goog^le or a chart
A chemical reaction is marked by new substance formation. The energy changes in chemical reactions occur when atoms <u>rearrange</u> to form new substances.
<h3>What is a chemical reaction?</h3>
A chemical reaction is said to be the process that is characterized by the formation of new substances by the alteration of the chemical composition and the properties of the compound or the molecule.
The reaction results in a new product by the rearrangement of the atoms of the reactant molecule by breaking and creating chemical bonds. The bonds are altered by the change in energy.
Therefore, <u>rearrangement </u>is the correct blank.
