(1) Copper:
Copper has the atomic number : 29
Cu2+ means that it lost 2 electrons, therefore, the total number of electrons is 29-2 = 27 electrons.
The electronic configuration is:
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d9

(2) Silver:
Silver has atomic number : 47
Ag  + means that it lost one electron, therefore, the total number of electrons  is 47-1 = 46 electrons
The electronic configuration is:

The electron configuration of copper cation:

₂₉Cu²⁺ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d⁹ or [Ar] 3d⁹.

The electron configuration of copper cation:

₄₇Ag⁺ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s² 4p⁶ 4d¹⁰ or [Kr] 4d¹⁰.

Copper and silver lose their outer s-orbital electrons before they lose their outer d-orbital electrons.

Each electron configuration is consistent with the color, copper solution is blue, silver solution is colorless.

How many valence electrons does a helium atom have? what is the formula of the ion formed when potassium achieves noble-gas elec
OlgaM077 [116]

> How many valence electrons does a helium atom have?

The electron configuration of Helium is simply 1s2. We see that its outermost shell is the s shell and it contains 2 electrons, therefore the number of valence electrons is also 2.

 

> What is the formula of the ion formed when potassium achieves noble-gas electron configuration?

Potassium has a electron configuration of [Ar] 4s1. To have an electron configuration of only [Ar] which is a noble gas, the one electron from 4s1 should be removed, hence:

What is the mass-action expression Qc for the following chemical reaction:Zn(s)+2Ag+(aq) ⇌ Zn+2(aq)+2Ag(s) a. [Zn-2]/[Ag-]b. [
sattari [20]

Answer : The expression for reaction quotient will be :

Q_c=\frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Ag^{+}]^2}

Explanation :

Reaction quotient (Qc) : It is defined as the measurement of the relative amounts of products and reactants present during a reaction at a particular time.

The given redox reaction is :

2Ag^{+}(aq)+Zn(s)\rightarrow 2Ag(s)+Zn^{2+}(aq)

In this expression, only gaseous or aqueous states are includes and pure liquid or solid states are omitted.

The expression for reaction quotient will be :

Q_c=\frac{[Zn^{2+}]}{[Ag^{+}]^2}

The two reactions illustrated in the diagrams below often occur when a foreign substance enters the body.
zheka24 [161]

The specific proteins produced by cell B in response to the foreign substance are antibodies.

<h3>What are antibodies?</h3>

Antibodies are specific proteins produced by the immune cells of the body in response to a foreign substance called antigen which produces the immune response.

Antibodies are released by immune cells such as B cells.

The antibodies bind to antigen and tag them for destruction by phagocytes.

Therefore, cell B will produce antibodies.
