Write a balanced half-reaction describing the oxidation of aqueous gold(i) cations to aqueous gold(iii) cations.

Chemistry

<span>Balanced half-reaction: Au</span>⁺<span>(aq) </span>→ <span> Au</span>³⁺(aq) + 2e⁻.
Oxidation reaction is increasing of oxidation number of element, because element or ion lost electrons in chemical reaction.
Gold lost two electrons and change oxidation number from +1 to +3.
Reduction is lowering oxidation number because element gain electrons.

Which characteristic do valence electrons indicate about reactions between atoms?
Setler [38]

Bond number

The characteristic of reactions that depends on valence electrons is the bond type.

In chemistry, a chemical bond could be;

Ionic

Covalent

The type of bond formed depends on the number of valence electrons present. When there are few valence electrons on an atom, it mostly forms ionic bonds.

When there are more electrons on an atoms, it mostly forms covalent bonds and the electrons between the atoms are shared.

Sodium, atomic number 11, forms an ionic bond with an atom of an unknown element. What is one possible choice for the other elem
djyliett [7]
The Answer is A 
This is because sodium needs to give off one electron to be stable, form these options the only element that needs to take one electron to be stable is fluorine thus A is the answer

Which of the following electron configurations are written incorrectly?
Lynna [10]

Answer:

The electronic configuration that are incorrectly written is 1s²2s³2p⁶, 4s²3d¹⁰4p⁷, 3s¹ and 2s²2p⁴.

Explanation:

The electronic configuration of the elements corresponds to how all the electrons of an element are arranged in energy levels and sub-levels.

There are 7 energy levels —from 1 to 7— whose sublevels are described as s, p, d and f.

All electronic configurations begin with the term "1s" —corresponding to the sublevel s of level 1— so 4s²3d¹⁰4p⁷, 3s¹ and 2s²2p⁴ are incorrectly written. In addition, 4s²3d¹⁰4p⁷ is written incorrectly because is impossible to jump from the sublevel "s" to the sublevel "d" —which is found from level 3 and up— without passing through the sublevel "p".

In the case of 1s²2s³2p⁶, the wrong thing is that the sublevel "s" can only hold two electrons, not three.

The other options are correctly written.
