Answer:
Explanation:
Trick question. The cathode is where the reduction reaction takes place. The reduction reaction is the gain of electrons.
Pb+2 + 2e^- ===> Pb The eo for that is - 0.126.
The minus sign indicates that the Pb^2+ is not overjoyed at taking on those two electrons. If it had a say in the matter, it would rather be giving up electrons. In other words, it would rather be the oxidizing equation which would look like this
Pb ===> Pb+2 + 2e^- and the oxidizing potential would be eo = + 0.126
That's what moving right and moving left means. If the eo is - then the preferred reaction is the opposite one.
This is a real language problem and if Znk answers you can take his answer to the bank.
Answer:
structure of argon
Explanation:
The nucleus contains 18 protons ( red) and 22 neutrons (orange). 18 electrons (white) occupy shells ring.
Explanation:
The chemical formula magnesium sulfide written as MgS and NOT
because charge on magnesium ion is +2 and charge on sulfide ion is -2.
Therefore, these charges will cancel out each other as we write the formula in simplest crisscross method.
Also, the numbers in a chemical formula display the total number of atoms attached with each other or central atom.
For example, in
there are two chlorine atoms attached to one calcium atom.
Therefore,
denotes one sulfur atom is attached to magnesium atom. Hence, we do not write the formula of magnesium sulfide as
because this shows two magnesium atoms are attached to two sulfur atoms which is not true.
Elements Y and elements Z would have similar properties due to the fact that they both posses the same number of valence electrons. They both have a single valence electron that determines the corresponding elements bonding properties and the fact that it can either donate 1 valence electron to produce an ion that would be attracted to another atom, that is also an ion. Assuming that these elements are group 1 elements, they do not undergo in covalent bonding.
Answer:
all 4 of the middle ones are part of the nucleus
