Its because the copper ions have a positive charge, therefore, they are attracted to a negative electrode.

Does beryllium (Be) or Sodium (Na) have the same electron arrangement as Magnesium (Mg)? Why?

Finger [1]

Answer:

Na has the most similar configuration.

Explanation:

Na electron configuration: 1s²2s²2p⁶3s¹ or [Ne] 3s₁

Mg electron configuration: 1s²2s²2p⁶3s² or [Ne] 3s²

Be electron configuration: 1s²2s² or [He] 2s²

This is because Na and Mg are right next to each other in the same period (horizontal).

Write a reflection about your learning in this unit. Your reflection should be at least 3 sentences. Use the following sentence

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

This unit has encouraged a deeper understanding of the world and it's guiding principles. While it was initially challenging for me to determine if a change was physical or chemical, this unit provided me with the information necessary to determine the type. With this knowledge, I can now interrelate with other properties and believe that this new ability will assist in future units as well. Thank you!

Describe how particles of iron (Fe) an oxygen (O2) react to how produce oxide (Fe2O3), also known as rust.

forsale [732]

Answer:

Described by a redox reaction below

Explanation:

Iron(III) oxide is an ionic compound, since it consists of a metal, iron, and a nonmetal, oxygen.

Ionic compounds are formed when metals lose their valence electrons in order to have an octet in their previous shell and donate them to nonmetal atoms, so that nonmetals fill their outer shell to have an octet.

As a result, positive ions (cations) and negative ions (anions) are formed. When iron reacts with oxygen, the following reaction takes place:

$4 Fe (s) + 3 O_2 (g)\rightarrow 2 Fe_2O_3 (s)$

This is a redox (oxidation–reduction) reaction, since we have electron loss and gain. Four iron atoms lose a total of 12 electrons to obtain a +3 charge in the final compound, while 3 oxygen molecules gain these 12 electrons to become 6 oxide anions with a -2 charge.
