Explanation:
Answer:
Copper ions are reduced into copper atoms.
Cu²⁺₍aq₎ + 2e⁻ → Cu₍s₎
Explanation:
During electrolysis, the positive H⁺ and Cu⁺ ions move to the negative cathode and negative OH⁻ and Cl⁻ ions move to the positive anode.
At cathode, copper ions are preferentially discharged due to the low electromotive force required to discharge them compared to the hydrogen ion. The copper ions gain the two electrons lost by the chloride ions when the are discharged. (2 Cl⁻₍aq₎ → Cl₂₍g₎ + 2e⁻)
Thus the half equation is as follows:
Cu²⁺₍aq₎ + 2e⁻ → Cu₍s₎
Metals of Group 1 donate 1 electron from its ns orbital to form ionic bond, where n is the no. of its outermost shell.
Metals of Group 2<span> donate 2 electrons from its ns orbital to form ionic bond, where n is the no. </span>of its <span>outermost shell. </span>
