Answer : Oxidation reaction produces oxygen and water molecule during electrolysis of water.

Explanation:

Electrolysis : It is a type of process in which the chemical decomposition produced by passing an electric current through the solution that containing the ions.

Electrolysis of water : It is basically the decomposition of water into oxygen and hydrogen gas through a process of electric current.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electron to attain stability.

The chemical reactions during electrolysis of water are:

At cathode:  2H_2O+2e^-\rightarrow H_2+2OH^-

At anode:  2OH^-\rightarrow \frac{1}{2}O_2+H_2O+2e^-

Overall reaction: H_2O\rightarrow H_2+\frac{1}{2}O_2

Oxidation reaction occurs at anode.

Hence, oxidation reaction produces oxygen and water molecule during electrolysis of water.

Carbon and silicon are tetravalent but ge sn pb show di valency. Why
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

<u>Answer:</u>

Carbon and silicon both are tetravalent elements as compared to germanium, tin, and lead which are divalent.

That's because Ge, tin, and Pb show inert pair effect and has a greater nuclear effective charge on the 's' electrons due to poor shielding effect.  .That's why these elements are not able to share their valence electrons while carbon and silicon does and show "catenation" which is the ability to form long chain molecules.

In a Lewis diagram for methane (CH4), which atom or atoms is inside, or central?
Ahat [919]

Answer:

B carbon

Explanation

Lewis structure or dot structure is an easy way to get the bonding details of atoms in a molecule. If we talk about methane molecule carbon is central atom with four electrons that are bonded to four hydrogen atoms and each bond is single covalent bond.

Please see attached figure,

Hope it helps!
