Answer:

CuSO4 + Fe -> FeSO4 + Cu

Explanation:

This reaction is a classic example of a redox reaction. I won't go in too deep, but the basic thing is that electrons from the Fe atom go to the Cu2+ ion. Therefore, Fe becomes an ion, and Cu - an electroneutral atom:

Fe + Cu2+ -> Fe2+ + Cu.

Silver is not a very reactive metal and it does not give up its electrons to Cu.

How can a charged atom (an ion) attract a neutral atom? 1. the charged atom can hit the neutral atom and make it positively char
Ivan
The answer would be 2. <span>an ion polarizes a nearby neutral atom, so that the part of the atom nearer to the ion acquires a charge opposite to the charge of the ion, and the part of the atom farther from the ion acquires a charge of the same sign as the ion

In neutral atoms, the negative and positive charge spread evenly. The charge from an ion could create an electric field that will attract the charge of the neutral atoms.
The neutral atoms charge sum still zero, but the distribution of charge could be changed.</span>

Why are oxidation numbers assigned to the elements before writing a chemical formula
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

Oxidation numbers assign ownership of the electrons to one atom or another in a compound. ... Scientists use these numbers to help name compounds, write formulas and balance chemical equations. They are also useful when studying reactions and they can help you identify when something is oxidized or reduced.
