Electronic distribution of iron Fe²+

$1s^2,2s^2,2p^6,3s^2,3p^6,3d^6,4s^2$

26 - 2 = 24 electrons

hope this helps!

Answer:

NO2- is the reducing agent.

Cr2O7_2- is the oxidizing agent.

H+ is neither

Explanation:

Reduction is the gain in electron. A chemical specie that undergoes reduction is called the oxidizing agent.

Oxidation is simply the loss in electrons. A chemical specie that undergoes oxidation is called the reducing agent.

Let us look at the species.

The first specie is the NO2-. In this specie, the oxidation number of nitrogen changed from +3 to +5 in NO3-. Thus we can see that there is more loss of electron to have caused an increase in the oxidation number positively. This shows an oxidation. Hence, NO2- is the reducing agent.

Let us look at the chromium. We can see that the oxidation number of chromium changed from +7 to +3.

Now we can see that it is a decrease and hence, it is a gain of electron and thus it is reduction. This means the first chromium specie is the oxidizing agent.

The hydrogen ion is simply placed there to balance the ions and hence it is neither the oxidizing nor the reducing agent.

Answer: Isotope Oxygen 18 will remain the same before and after the reaction because the amount of neutrons are the same in a isotope

Explanation:

Isotopes 18-17 and 16 are the most stable in earth. Keep in mind that a Isotope is an atom that has equal amount of protons and electrons but neutrons ( as you can see in the imagine below) . That is why, an isotope like oxygen 18 will remain the same in a chemical reaction, because there is only a electron transfer when doing a new molecule.
