In the following reaction, which species is reduced? 2k+br2 yield 2k+ + 2br-

1 answer:

6 0

The species that is reduced in

2K + Br2 = 2K^+ + 2Br^-

is Br2 is reduced

This is because Br2 move from oxidation state zero to oxidation state of negative one. K is been oxidized since it move from oxidation state zero to oxidation state of positive one. K act as a reducing agent while Br2 act as a oxidizing agent

Which of the following pairs of elements could possibly be in the same group? X has a 1+ ion; Y has a 1- ion. X tends to form a

exis [7]

Let's eliminate these one by one.
The first pair would not be the same, as X would most likely be in group IA, and Y would be in group VIIA, because of their tendency to gain and lose electrons.
The second pair would also violate the same rule, but X would most likely be in group IIA, and Y would most likely be in group VIA.
The third pair would not be the same, as X is most likely in group VIIA, and since Y has eight valence electrons, it is most likely a noble gas.
The final pair has X with atomic number 15, making it phosphorous. Phosphorous wants to gain 3 electrons to have a full octet of 8 outer "valence" electrons, and Y would also like to gain 3 electrons. This means it is possible that the final pair would be in the same group.

Many monatomic ions are found in seawater, including the ions formed from the following list of elements. Write the Lewis symbol

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

The Lewis structures are in image attached.

Explanation:

Lewis symbol is a representation of an element symbol along with its valence electrons around it in the form of dot(s).

Mono-atomic ions formed from the following :

(a) Cl

Chlorine's atomic number is 17 in which only 7 electrons are present in its valence shell .So in order to gain noble gas stability it will gain 1 electron to completes its octet

$Cl=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^5$

$Cl^-=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^6$

(b) Na

Sodium's atomic number is 11 in which only 1 electrons are present in its valence shell .So in order to gain noble gas stability it will loose 1 electron to completes its octet. In the Lewis symbol no dot shown as sodium has lost its 1 electron.

$Na=1s^22s^23p^63s^1$

$Na^+=1s^22s^23p^63s^0$

(c) Mg

Magnesium's atomic number is 12 in which only 2 electrons are present in its valence shell .So, in order to gain noble gas stability it will loose 2 electrons to completes its octet.

In the Lewis symbol no dot shown as magnesium has lost its 2 electrons.

$Mg=1s^22s^23p^63s^2$

$Mg^{2+}=1s^22s^23p^63s^0$

(d)Ca

Calcium's atomic number is 20 in which only 2 electrons are present in its valence shell .So, in order to gain noble gas stability it will loose 2 electron to completes its octet.

In the Lewis symbol no dot shown as calcium has lost its 2 electron.

$Ca= 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^2$

$Ca^{2+}=1s^22s^23p^6^23p^64s^0$

(e) K

Potassium's atomic number is 19 in which only 1 electrons are present in its valence shell .So, in order to gain noble gas stability it will loose 1 electron to completes its octet.

In the Lewis symbol no dot shown as calcium has lost its 1 electron.

$K= 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^1$

$K^{+}=1s^22s^23p^6^23p^64s^0$

(f) Br

Bromine's atomic number is 35 in which only 7 electrons are present in its valence shell .So in order to gain noble gas stability it will gain 1 electron to completes its octet

$Br=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^5$

$Br^-= 1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^6$

(g) Sr

Strontium's atomic number is 38 in which only 2 electrons are present in its valence shell .So, in order to gain noble gas stability it will loose 2 electron to completes its octet.

In the Lewis symbol no dot shown as calcium has lost its 2 electron.

$Sr=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^65s^2$

$Sr^{2+}=1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^{10}4s^24p^65s^0$

(h) F

Florine's atomic number is 7 in which only 7 electrons are present in its valence shell .So in order to gain noble gas stability it will gain 1 electron to completes its octet.

$F=1s^22s^22p^5$

$F^-=1s^22s^22p^6$

Mechanically weathered rock is broken down into smaller _________________________. (four word phrase)

scoundrel [369]

Weathering because Weathering is the process where rock is dissolved, worn away or broken down into smaller and smaller pieces. There are mechanical, chemical and organic weatheringprocesses. Organic weathering happens when plants break up rocks with their growing roots or plant acids help dissolve rock.
