The type of chemical reaction is an oxidation-reduction reaction, also known as redox reaction. Batteries use this chemical reaction to do work on charge and produce voltage. The important part is called an electrochemical cell where the reaction occurs.

A decomposition reaction should look like

A ------> B +C+...

It has to have only one reactant and several products.

2 NO2 ⟶ 2 O2 + N2

An airplane starts at rest and Excelerator down the runway for 20 seconds. At the end of the runway, its velocity is 80 m/s Nort
masha68 [24]
According to the formula you have given us to work with . . .

1). The airplane's acceleration is

(80 m/s north - zero) / (20 sec) = 4 m/sec^2 north

2).  For the cyclist:

                                          (V-final - zero) / 20sec = 0.5 m/s^2 south

Multiply each side by 20s :  V-final = 0.5 m/s^2 south x (20sec) = 

                                                                                         10 m/s south

Zinc phosphide, Zn3P2, is often used as a rat poison. Phosphorus has 5 valence electrons. How many valence electrons does each z
Helen [10]
The choices that should have accompanied this question were:
A. 1 
<span>B. 2 </span>
<span>C. 3 </span>
<span>D. 4 
</span>
My answer is B. 2.
Below is an explanation, I found while doing the research.

<span>Phosphate needs 3 electrons each totaling 6 electrons so each zinc will need to give up 2 electrons.

Phosphate wants to imitate the electron configuration of Argon because noble configurations are the most stable. With P getting the extra electrons the valence shell will be 3s2 3p6, which is the same as Argon. Without the extra electrons, the P valence shell looks like this 3s2 3p3, now you can see why each phosphorus wants 3 more electrons, that will make it 3s2 3p6, just like Argon.</span>
