The solid anhydrous solid CoCl2 is blue in color. Because it readily absorbs water from the air, it is used as a humidity indica

tor to monitor if equipment (such as a cell phone) has been exposed to excessive levels of moisture. Predict what product is formed by this reaction, and how many unpaired electrons this complex will have.

Answer:

CoCl_{2}.(H_{2}O)_{6} is formed and it has three unpaired electrons.

Explanation:

Blue CoCl_{2} reacts with water to produce pink colored CoCl_{2}.(H_{2}O)_{6} complex.

In this complex, Co^{2+} ion forms an octahedral complex with six H_{2}O ligands.

As H_{2}O is a weak field ligand therefore Co^{2+} ion remains in low spin state.

Hence electronic configuration of Co^{2+} ion in this octahedral geometry is t_{2g}^{5}e_{g}^{2} with total three unpaired electrons.

The last column of the periodic table contains the noble gases elements that do not easily form chemical bonds. Why don’t these
ozzi

Answer:

its is because the chemicals are very diffraction from each other so which makes it difficult to form a chemical bond.

What kind of elements do not give, receive or share electrons?
galina1969 [7]
The group of elements on the periodic table that does not participate in chemical bonding at all would be the noble gas elements. These either do not give, receive, and or share electrons.

An element has a mass of 207 and 125 neutrons in its nucleus. How many protons & electrons does it have & where are they
SashulF [63]

The number of protons can be calculated by subtracting 207 with 125

Therefore, proton no. : 207 - 125

                                    = 32

Proton number and electron number is always equivalent, so there are 32 electrons in the electron shells

Protons and neutrons are always located in the nucleus of an atom, and electrons are located in the electron shells which always move rapidly around the atom

The element which is referred is Lead(Pb)
