The cell notation is:
here in cell notation the left side represent the anodic half cell where right side represents the cathodic half cell
in anodic half cell : oxidation takes place [loss of electrons]
in cathodic half cell: reduction takes place [gain of electrons]
1) this is a galvanic cell
2) the standard potential of cell will be obtained by subtracting the standard reduction potential of anode from cathode
Therefore
3) as the value of emf is positive the reaction will be spontaneous as the free energy change of reaction will be negative
Δ
As reaction is spontaneous and there will be conversion of chemical energy to electrical energy it is a galvanic cell.
Answer : The number of single bonds, double bonds, triple bonds, and unshared pairs of electrons on the central atom are, 3, 0, 0 and 0 respectively.
Explanation :
Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.
In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.
The given molecule is,
As we know that boron has '3' valence electrons and chlorine has '7' valence electrons.
Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in = 3 + 3(7) = 24
According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 18 number of non-bonding electrons.
From the Lewis-dot structure we conclude that,
The number of single bonds, double bonds, triple bonds, and unshared pairs of electrons on the central atom are, 3, 0, 0 and 0 respectively.
