The oxygen atom has 4 valence electrons. Valence electrons are the electrons found in the outermost shell of an atom. These are the electrons that participate in chemical reactions during bonding. Since 4 electrons make up 2 pairs, an oxygen atom is capable of making <em>2 covalent bonds</em>.
Answer:
D. Zn → Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻, 2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂.
Explanation:
- It is a redox reaction that is consisted of two half-reactions:
Oxidation reaction:
Zn losses 2 electrons and is oxidized to Zn²⁺:
<em>Zn → Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻.</em>
<em></em>
Reduction reaction:
H⁺ gains 1 electron and is reduced to H:
<em>2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂.</em>
<em></em>
<em>So, the right choice is: D. Zn → Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻, 2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂.</em>
<em></em>
Answer:
yes the ones u chose are correct.
Explanation:
Answer:
(n, l, m sub l, m sub s)
N: principle quantum number (1,2,3,4,etc)
l: angular momentum quantum number, the shape (l has to be at least 1 less than n, but can be 0 depending on n)
M sub l: magnetic quantum number (l determines this number)
M sub s: spin quantum number (can only ever be 1/2 or -1/2)
