If I did this correctly the balanced equation would be:
14H⁺+Cr₂O₇²⁻+6I⁻→3I₂+2Cr³⁺+7H₂O

oxidation half: (iodide was oxidized)
2I⁻→I₂+2e⁻

reduction half: (chromium was reduced)
14H⁺+Cr₂O₇²⁻+6e⁻→2Cr³⁺+7H₂O

H⁺ comes from the solution. It is in the final reaction since in redox reactions the oxygen is turned into water since it can't just go away. I multiplied the oxidation half reaction by 3 in order for both half reactions to half the same number of electrons since equal numbers of electrons need to be lost and gained for the reaction to be balanced.

I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.

What is the type of weak bond between the hydrogen of one molecule and the nitrogen of another molecule, where the two don't act

Aliun [14]

<h2>Hydrogen Bonding</h2>

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonding is a type of weak bond.
Hydrogen Bonding occurs when the hydrogen atom of one molecule is bonded with a molecule of high electronegativity element like nitrogen of another molecule.
It is a type of dipole-dipole interations.
The nitrogen is a highly electronegative element that forms a weak bond with the hydrogen atom of another molecule with dipole-dipole interaction.
Hydrogen bonds are weaker than covalent and ionic bonds.
Therefore the type of bond is Hydrogen bond.
