Energy has been added to the system for the reaction to occur.
Electrons basically ARE the chemical bond. The atoms are joined together by the bonds.
Answer:
Mg₁₂ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²
Explanation:
Abbreviated and unabbreviated electronic configuration:
The abbreviated electronic configuration uses the noble gas configuration i.e complete electronic shells. For example, the atomic number of neon is ten and magnesium is twelve. The abbreviated electronic configuration of magnesium is written by using the neon abbreviation in following way:
The electronic configuration of neon is given below:
Ne₁₀ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶
The abbreviated electronic configuration of magnesium:
Mg₁₂ = [Ne] 3s²
While the unabbreviated electronic configuration is written without using noble gas electronic configuration.
Unabbreviated electronic configuration of magnesium:
Mg₁₂ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²
Answer: only Br2.
Justification.
In a chemical reaction the element that gains electrons experiments a reduction in its oxidation state, that is why it is said that it is reduced.
So, to know what element is being reduced you need to calculate the oxidation states of the elements involved.
Here I indicate the oxidation states of each element if the reaction putting them inside parenthesis:
Reactants side Products side
K (0) K (1+)
Br (0) Br(1-)
So, K lost one electron, increasing its oxidation statefrom 0 to 1+, meaning that it is being oxidized.
And, each atom of Br gained one electron, reducing its oxidation state from 0 to 1-, meaning it is being reduced.
Therefore, the answer is that Br2 is the substance being reduced.
Carbon 14 and carbon 12 are the same element because they contain the number of proton in the periodic table. but the different in number (14 and 12) is from the neutron
