The answer is b) the highest occupied orbital is a “d”orbital.
Transition metals are metals where the highest energy electrons partially fill the d subshells. There are some elements with complete d subshells but on forming cations they have incomplete d subshells.
These transition metals have some properties that are different from the other metals .

Novay_Z [31]
In studying chemistry, one should learn how to read the periodic table and periodic trends in the table.. Of course, you should also know the abbreviations of each element in it so that you can identify what element is in chemical structures. Memorizing and knowing it by heart is the best way. You should also study what we call chemical nomenclature which is naming combinations of elements. Elements when combined may form ionic compounds, bonds or acids. Knowing what element reacts with another will also be necessary that's why the concept of chemical reactions must be further studied.

Consider this chemical reaction. What chemical is reduced?<br> CH3OH + NAD --&gt; CH2O + NADH
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

CH3OH and NADH

Explanation:

The given chemical reaction is an redox reaction in which reduction and oxidation take place.

In the process of oxidation: electrons are loss while in the process of reduction: electrons are gained.

In the given redox reaction: CH3OH + NAD --> CH2O + NADH

NAD is reduced to NADH as NADH gains one hydrogen electron while CH3OH (methanol) is oxidized to CH2O (methanal)  by losing electrons.

So, CH3OH (methanol) and NADH are the reduced forms while NAD and CH2O (methanal) are oxidized forms.

Consider the reaction.
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

when the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal

Explanation:

In a chemical system, the reaction reaches a dynamic equilibrium when the rate of formation of product equals the rate of formation of reactants. This implies that both the forward and revered(backwards) reaction are occurring at the same rate.
