The element that has the fewest valence electrons available for bonding I believe is Hydrogen.
True....
Explanation
Cells use oxygen to release energy during photosynthesis/chlorophyll/cellular respiration. For photosynthesis, the starting materials are water and carbon dioxide, and the products are sugar and oxygen. For cellular respiration, the starting materials are oxygen and sugar, and the products are carbon dioxide and water.
The equation is:
3 O₂ + 4 Co → 2 Co₂O₃
Oxidation half reaction:
Co → Co³⁺ + 3 e
Reduction half reaction:
O₂ + 4 e → 2 O²⁻
To balance the equation number of electrons lost must be equal to number or electrons gained so we must multiply oxidation half time 4 and reduction half times 3
Chromium has the electron configuration [Ar]4s13d5 and exhibits oxidation numbers 2+, 3+, and 6+. When chromium loses two electrons, it forms the Cr2+ ion and has the configuration [Ar]3d4.
The Answer is B. [Ar]3d4
