Hello! Your answer would be a gain of electrons and a decrease in positive charge.

Contrary to how it sounds, reduction is actually a gain of electrons. It is part of a set of reactions known as a redox reaction, reduction being a gain of electrons and oxidation being a loss.

With the gain of electrons, the element would become more negative as electrons bring with them a negative charge. Therefore, this would decrease the positive charge.

Hope this helped!

Which metal in Period 5 is very reactive and has two valence electrons in each atom?

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

The answer is Strontium(Sr). The reactive increase from right to left. And this element has two valence electrons. So Rb is not correct. Then the very reactive metal is Sr.

Activity series of metals: K,Na,Mg,Al,Zn,Fe,Cu,Ag. Metals on the left are more reactive than metals on the right. For example Zn is more reactive than Fe and can displace him.
Reaction than can occur is: CuSO4(aq) + Fe(s) → FeSO4(aq) + Cu(s).

The potential energy diagram shows the gain and loss of potential energy as water molecules decompose into hydrogen and oxygen.

Dovator [93]

Answer:

The diagram with the five labels of the parts is in the image attached. Please, see the image.

Explanation:

1) General explanation: a potential chemical energy diagram is used to show how the reactants gain energy until they reach the activation energy, form the activated complex, and release part of the energy to form the products.

The difference between the chemical potential energy of the products and the reactants is the enthalpy of the reaction:

ΔH rxn = ΔH products - ΔH reactants.

The labels that correspond to each part of the diagram are explained next.

2) Reactants:

This is the substances at the start, so they appear on the left bottom side of the diagram.

3) Activation energy:

It is the energy that the reactants must reach (the highest point) in order to the reaction occurs.

4) Activated complex:

This is the intermediate state and of highest energy. The reactants have formed a complex at mid way between the reactants and the products.

5) Products:

These are the substances formed when the reaction is completed. They are lower in energy than the activated complex. They can be either higher or lower in energy than the reactants. The products are shown to the right of the diagram.

6) Enthalpy of the reaction:

The enthalpy of the reaction is the difference in energy of the products and the reactants. In this case, since, the products are higher in energy, it means that the reaction absorbed energy and it is an endothermic reaction.
