3Mg(s) + 2FeCl3(aq) → 3 MgCl2(aq) + 2Fe(s)

Explanation:

Redox reaction is a reduction-oxidation reaction in which oxidation states of atoms involved in the reaction are changed. The elements that receive electrons are considered to be reduced while the element that donates the electrons is considered to be oxidized. In the case of this reaction, Fe in the FeCl₃ is reduced into Fe by gaining 3 electrons - while Mg is oxidized to MgCl₂ because it donates 2 electrons.

If you check the moles of Mg, FeCl₃, Fe, and MgCl₂; you'll get to notice that the exchange of electron is balanced at 6.

Nuclear physicists have discovered over 100 different particles that compose the nucleus of an atom. From a chemistry perspectiv

Julli [10]

Answer:

Protons and neutrons which packed tightly into central core of the atom.

Explanation:

Atoms are composed of three subatomic particle; electron, proton and neutron. Electrons are negatively charged, protons are positively charged whereas neutrons are neutral, hence does not have any charge.

Out of three, protons and neutrons are present in the nucleus of the atom.

Nucleus is the central part of the atom possessing most of the mass of the atom. In the nucleus, protons and neutrons are tightly packed with the help of nuclear force.

Electrons are present around the nucleus also called electron cloud.

Therefore, nucleus are composed of protons and neutrons which packed tightly into central core of the atom
