Why can't the subscripts be changed?

Subscripts cannot be changed because they are the ratio of the amount. And as we know, in a chemical equation/reaction, mass cannot be created nor destroyed. Therefore, we cannot change subscripts, however, we could change coefficients. <span />

Because it messes the whole problem up! Change the coefficants unstead of subscripts

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

B) FALSE.

Explanation:

First off, its important to understand the following concepts;

A half reaction is either the oxidation or reduction reaction component of a redox (Oxidation - Reduction) reaction. A half reaction is obtained by considering the change in oxidation states of individual substances involved in the redox reaction.

Often, the concept of half-reactions is used to describe what occurs in an electrochemical cell, such as a Galvanic cell battery. Half-reactions can be written to describe both the metal undergoing oxidation (known as the anode) and the metal undergoing reduction (known as the cathode).

Half equations simply much just breaks the reaction into oxidation and reduction steps (irrespective of the order, whether left or right).

An example of half equation is given below;

Mg → Mg2+ + 2e− (Oxidation)

Cu2+ + 2e− → Cu (Reduction)

The answer is false because; oxidation-reduction reactions are NOT represented by equations that group the reaction participants into reactants and products. Rather they are

How does atomic radius change from top to bottom in a group in the periodic table?
suter [353]
The atomic radius increases as you would go down a particular group on the periodic table of elements. This is because along with a greater number of protons, there would also be electrons as well, and thus the need of electron shells surrounding the atom would also be required, to compensate for the more electrons, as according to the bohr model, each shell contains 8 electrons in its electron shell. Thus the distance from the nucleus to the outermost shell increases, the atomic radius.
