Explanation:

An atom consists of three subatomic particles. These are protons, electrons and neutrons.

A proton has a positive charge, an electron has a negative charge and a neutron has no charge.

A nucleus is the central part of an atom. And, inside the nucleus there are protons and neutrons. Whereas electrons move in circular path outside the nucleus.

Hence, we can conclude that most likely protons and neutrons are present in the nucleus of the atom.

When metallic aluminum is added to a solution containing iron(II) sulfate a reaction occurs. What species is being oxidized in t

REY [17]

Answer: Aluminium is getting oxidized in the given chemical reaction.

Explanation:

Oxidation reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom looses its electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets increased during this reaction.

$X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-$

Reduction reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom gains electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets reduced during this reaction.

$X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X$

For the given chemical reaction:

$2Al(s)+3FeSO_4(aq.)\rightarrow Al_2(SO_4)_3(aq.)+3Fe(s)$

The half cell reactions for the above reaction follows:

Oxidation half reaction: $Al\rightarrow Al^{3+}+3e^-$

Reduction half reaction: $Fe^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Fe$

As, aluminium is loosing 3 electrons to form aluminium cation. Thus, it is getting oxidized. Iron is gaining 2 electrons to form iron anion. Thus, it is getting reduced.

Hence, the oxidized species of the given reaction is aluminium.
