How to find the final product of Fe (II) + CI ?
pickupchik [31]

The valency of iron (Fe) in this equation is 2

While, the valency of chlorine is 1

Therefore, we know that iron wants to give away 2 electrons to attain octet configuration, and chlorine wants to get an electron to attain octet configuration.

Also while find the products the number of atoms is similar to the oppostie valency

Fe = 1 atom , Cl = 2 atoms

Which will form FeCl₂

Happy to help :)

If you need any help pls ask

Each polysaccharide tested gives different color results with the iodine test ​
fomenos
Iodine (iodine-potassium iodide) staining distinguishes starch ( a polysaccharide) from monosaccharides, a disaccharides and other polysaccharides. Therefore, a bluish black color is a positive test for starch, and a yellow-ish brown color ( no color change) is a negative test for starch.

The oxygen atom is smaller than the sulfur atom because _____(1) the outer electrons of oxygen are more effectively screened fro
Romashka [77]

Answer: Option (2) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of oxygen atom is 8 and its electronic distribution is 2, 6. So, it contains only 2 orbitals which are closer to the nucleus of the atom.

As a result, the valence electrons are pulled closer by the nucleus of oxygen atom due to which there occurs a decrease in atomic size of the atom.

Whereas atomic number of sulfur is 16 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 6. As there are more number of orbitals present in a sulfur atom so, the valence electrons are away from the nucleus of the atom.

Hence, there is less force of attraction between nucleus of sulfur atom and its valence electrons due to which size of sulfur atom is larger than the size of oxygen atom.

Thus, we can conclude that the oxygen atom is smaller than the sulfur atom because the outer orbitals of oxygen are located closer to the nucleus than those of sulfur.
