Answer:
Zn(s) → Zn⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻
Explanation:
Let us consider the complete redox reaction:
Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)
This is a redox reaction because, both oxidation and reduction is simultaneously taking place.
- Oxidation (loss of electrons or increase in the oxidation state of entity)
- Reduction (gain of electrons or decrease in the oxidation state of the entity)
- An element undergoes oxidation or reduction in order to achieve a stable configuration. It can be an octet configuration. An octet configuration is that of outer shell configuration of noble gas.
Here Zn(s) is undergoing oxidation from OS 0 to +2
And H in HCl (aq) is undergoing reduction from OS +1 to 0.
Therefore, for this reaction;
Oxidation Half equation is:
Zn(s) → Zn⁺²(aq) + 2e⁻
Reduction Half equation is:
2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂(g)

A physical change is any change in a substances form that does not change its chemical makeup. Examples of physical changes are breaking a stick or melting ice. A chemical change occurs when atoms of a substance are rearranged, and the bonds between the atoms are broken or formed. HOPE THIS HELPS!!
Answer:
The main difference between the two models is <em>the position of the electron in the atom</em>.
Explanation:
- <em>Bohr model:</em> The electrons are moved around the nucleus in circular definite paths (orbitals or shells). Also, he could not find or detect the exact position of electron.
- <em>Electron cloud model:</em> It is supposed by Erwin Schrodinger. He showed that the emission spectra of the atom is the way to detect the probability of electron position.
