The answer is B.
You can rule C out because divergent means moving away. Rule out A because there is an oceanic and continental plate, not 2 of the same type. Rule D out for the same reason.
Answer:
3 e⁻ transfer has occurred.
Explanation
This is a redox reaction.
- 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 or duplet configuration. An octet configuration is that of outer shell configuration of noble gas.
- [Ne]= (1s²) (2s² 2p⁶)
A combination of both the reactions( Half-reactions) leads to a redox reaction.
Let us look at initial configurations of Al and Cl
[Al]= 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p¹
[Cl]= 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵
Hence, Al can lose 3 electrons to achieve octet config.
and, Cl can gain 1e to achieve nearest noble gas config. [Ar]
This reaction can be rewritten, by clearly mentioning the oxidation states of all the entities involved.
Al⁰ + Cl⁰ → (Al⁺³)(Cl⁻)₃
Here, Aluminum is undergoing an oxidation(i.e loss of electrons) from: 0→(+3)
Chlorine undergoes a reduction half reaction (i.e gain of electrons) from: 0→(-1). There are 3 such chlorine atoms, hence 3 e⁻ transfer has occurred.
The correct answer for the following questions that are presented above are these ones:
(1) b. Pressure. The <span>physical effect can change the boiling point of a substance is the pressure.
(2) </span><span>Evaporation only occurs at the surface of a liquid. TRUE.</span><span>
(3) </span>d. freezing. The change from liquid to solid, or the reverse of melting, is called freezing.
Several factors affect the rate of a chemical reaction. From the options given factors that affect the rate are:
temperature and concentration of catalysts.
As the temperature increases, also the rate of the reaction increases.
<span>The concentration of a catalysts helps a reaction to proceed more quickly to equilibrium. </span>
