Answer:

There is no net ionic equation

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

sodium cyanide = NaCN

nitric acid = HNO3

sodium nitrate = NaNO3

hydrocyanic acid = HCN

Step 2: The unbalanced equation

NaCN(aq) + HNO3(aq) → NaNO3(aq) + HCN(aq)

The equation is already balanced.

Step 3: the net ionic equation

The net ionic equation, for which spectator ions are omitted - remember that spectator ions are those ions located on both sides of the equation - will , after canceling those spectator ions in both side, look like this:

Na+ + CN- + H+ NO3-   → Na+ + NO3- + H+ + CN-

There is no net ionic equation

If you don't have a net ionic equation to balance, that means you have what is usually called a molecular equation (or a complete molecular equation)

Answer:

There is no net ionic equation

Explanation:

We identify the reactants and the products for the reaction

NaCN, HNO₃, NaNO₃, HCN

In this case, they are all soluble in water (aq)

We write the reaction, by the ionic form

Na⁺(aq) + CN⁻ (aq) + H⁺ (aq) + NO₃⁻(aq)  → Na⁺(aq) + NO₃⁻(aq)  + H⁺(aq) + CN⁻(aq)

All of the ions are spectators, they all react so there is no net ionic equation

5. An element whose highest occupied s sublevel and a nearby d sublevel <br> contain electrons
Mumz [18]

Answer:

                    Transition Element

Explanation:

                     Transition elements are defined as those elements which can form at least one stable ion and has partially filled d-orbitals. They are also characterized by forming complex compounds and having different oxidation states for a single metal element.

                      Transition metals are present between the metals and the non metals in the periodic table occupying groups from 3 to 12. There general electronic configuration is as follow,

                                                   (n-1)d ¹⁻¹⁰ns ¹⁻²

The general configuration shows that for a given metal, the d sublevel will be in lower energy level as compared to corresponding s sublevel. For example,

Scandium is present in fourth period hence, its s sublevel is present in 4rth energy level so its d sublevel will be present in 3rd energy level respectively.

Hence, we can conclude that for transition metals the electron are present in highest occupied s sublevel and a nearby d sublevel .
