You're wrong because the third energy level can contain 18 <span>electrons. And the 4th have up to 32 elections.

The pattern go by 2-8-18-32</span>

Write the net cell equation for this electrochemical cell. Phases are optional. Do not include the concentrations. Co ( s ) ∣ ∣

Tatiana [17]

Answer: The overall equation will be $Co(s)+2Ag^+(aq)\rightarrow Co^{2+}(aq)+Ag(s)$

Explanation:

The representation is given by writing the anode on left hand side followed by its ion with its molar concentration. It is followed by a salt bridge. Then the cathodic ion with its molar concentration is written and then the cathode.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. The oxidation state of the substance increases.

Anode : $Co(s)\rightarrow Co^{2+}(aq)+2e^{-}$

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced.

Cathode : $Ag^+(aq)+e^{-1}\rightarrow Ag(s)$ $\times 2$

The number of electrons lost must be equal to the number of electrons gained , thus overall equation will be :

$Co(s)+2Ag^+(aq)\rightarrow Co^{2+}(aq)+Ag(s)$

Explain why you cannot just take away a proton to make a halogen negative. In one sentence

denpristay [2]

You don’t change the amount of protons, you change the amount of electrons when making a halogen atom into a negative ion.
