Answer:
Which set of orbitals are degenerate?
Degenerate is used in quantum mechanics to mean 'of equal energy. ' It usually refers to electron energy levels or sublevels. For example, orbitals in the 2p sublevel are degenerate - in other words the 2px, 2py, and 2pz orbitals are equal in energy, as shown in the diagram.
Explanation:
Electrons carry a negative charge, so when you add on to the electron, the ion gets more negative.

Answer:
Four moles of electrons
Explanation:
The reactions in a breathalyzer are redox reactions. Fuel cell breathalyzers consists of fuel cells with platinum electrodes. The current produced depends on the amount of alcohol in the breath. Detection of alcohol involves the oxidation of ethanol to ethanoic acid. The two half cells set in the process are;
Anode;
C2H5OH(aq) + 4OH^-(aq) ----------> CH3COOOH(aq) + 3H2O(l) + 4e
Cathode;
O2(g) + 2H2O(l) +4e--------> 4OH^-(aq)
Hence four electrons are transferred in the process.
