Answer:
1. 2+ (
).
2. 0 (
).
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, the described chemical reaction is a redox reaction in fact, since the oxidation states of both magnesium and copper change as shown due to the displacement:
Therefore:
1. Since copper is the cation in the copper (II) nitrate, the (II) means that its charge is 2+ ().
2. Since copper is alone, it means no electrons are being neither shared not given, its charge is 0 ().
Best regards.
Answer:
BF3
Explanation:
For this question, you need to use the number of valence electrons present in each element. Boron is in group 3/13 on the periodic table so you know it has 3 valence electrons while Fluorine is in group 7/17 so it has 7 valence electrons. These elements are both covalent so they will share electrons. All elements in the first three rows want to reach either have 8 valence electrons or zero valence electrons depending on whichever is easier. When B and F interact each Fluorine will only want to take one electron, but Boron wants to get rid of all 3 electrons, so it will bond with 3 Fluorine to get rid of all its valence electrons.
I hope this helps.
<span>6s²4f¹⁴5d¹⁰6p²
6 shows that the element is in the 6 period,
6p² shows that the element is in the 14th group. (1 and 2 groups have s -electrons as last ones, 13 group has s²p¹, and 14 group has s²p²)
The element is Pb.
