Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A process in which a compound in a chemical reaction results in the formation of ions is known as ionization.

Whereas dissociation is a process in which a compound divides into atoms, ions or radicals.

A chemical compound which when dissolved in a solution forms ions and thus, conducts electricity is known as electrolyte.

A chemical reaction in which a compound reacts or combines with water is known as hydration.

Therefore, we can conclude that ionization is the term which refers to the formation of ions as a result of a chemical reaction.

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions.

Ionization is the term refers to the formation of ions as a result of a chemical reaction.

Ionization, in general, occurs whenever sufficiently energetic charged particles or radiant energy travel through gases, liquids, or solids. Charged particles, such as alpha particles and electrons from radioactive materials, cause extensive ionizationalong their paths.

Members of which group easily lose an electron to form a +1 cation?

vaieri [72.5K]

The alkali metals, which occupy group 1 of the periodic table. This is because the valence shells of these elements have only 1 electron, so easily form an ionic bond with a non-metal compound by donating this. A cation is formed by this donation, since there is one fewer electron orbiting the nucleus than there is in the atomic form - conversely an anion is formed when an atom gains an extra electron to become negatively charged.

In the third period of the periodic table, sodium is followed by magnesium, aluminum, silicon, and phosphorus. Which of these el

77julia77 [94]

Answer:-

Phosphorus

Explanation:-

In the third period among the elements given, phosphorus is at the most right side among them in the periodic table.

We know that as we go from left to right in the periodic table, the atomic size decreases due to the increase in nuclear charge.

Hence phosphorus is the smallest among them

Tatiana [17]

Answer: The overall equation will be $Co(s)+2Ag^+(aq)\rightarrow Co^{2+}(aq)+Ag(s)$

Explanation:

The representation is given by writing the anode on left hand side followed by its ion with its molar concentration. It is followed by a salt bridge. Then the cathodic ion with its molar concentration is written and then the cathode.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. The oxidation state of the substance increases.

Anode : $Co(s)\rightarrow Co^{2+}(aq)+2e^{-}$

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced.

Cathode : $Ag^+(aq)+e^{-1}\rightarrow Ag(s)$ $\times 2$

The number of electrons lost must be equal to the number of electrons gained , thus overall equation will be :

$Co(s)+2Ag^+(aq)\rightarrow Co^{2+}(aq)+Ag(s)$
