<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is the option A which is: Cl2 + 2e- → 2Cl-

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<em><u>Reduction is the gain of electrons and resulting in neutral or negative ions.</u></em>

<em><u>It is also the gain of hydrogen and release of oxygen ions.</u></em>

  • According to first most definition, option A describes the reduction.
  • Option B is incomplete reaction.

lara [203]

Answer:

bonding molecular orbital is lower in energy

antibonding molecular orbital is higher in energy

Explanation:

Electrons in bonding molecular orbitals help to hold the positively charged nuclei together, and they are always lower in energy than the original atomic orbitals.

Electrons in antibonding molecular orbitals are primarily located outside the internuclear region, leading to increased repulsions between the positively charged nuclei. They are always higher in energy than the parent atomic orbitals.

Calculate the amount of oxygen gas collected by the displacement of water at 14◦C if the atmospheric pressure is 790 Torr and th
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer : The amount of oxygen gas collected are, 0.217 mol

Explanation :

Using ideal gas equation :

PV=nRT

where,

P = pressure of gas = (790-12)torr=778torr=1.02atm     (1 atm = 760 torr)

V = volume of gas = 5 L

T = temperature of gas = 14^oC=273+14=287K

n = number of moles of gas = ?

R = gas constant  = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

Now put all the given values in the ideal gas equation, we get:

(1.02atm)\times (5L)=n\times (0.0821L.atm/mol.K)\times (287K)

n=0.217mole

Thus, the amount of oxygen gas collected are, 0.217 mol

statuscvo [17]

Answer: ³²P

Explanation:

The radionuclide in question is known as Phosphorus-32. It is an isotope of Phosphorus that is radioactive and has one more neutron than the normal phosphorus does.

Phosphorus does not exist in nature and is created artificially by bombarding the normal stable phosphorus with neutrons. Due to its radioactive nature, it has proven to be useful in the medical industry where it has been used to detect eye tumors as well as in treating some diseases.
