Which of the following reactions could be used to power a battery because of the transfer of electrons?
Trava [24]

Answer is: Zn + Cu2+ → Zn2+ + Cu.

In this chemical reaction, there is transfer of electrons from zinc (Zn) to copper (Cu). Zinc change oxidation number from 0 to +2 (lost electrons) and copper change oxidation number from +2 to 0 (gain electrons).

Oxidation half reaction: Zn⁰ → Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻.

Reduction half reaction: Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ → Cu⁰.

In other chemical reactions, there is no change of oxidation number of elements.

Answer the questions about the characteristics of the elements in group 1 (the alkali metals). What happens when the elements in
irinina [24]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The elements in group form univalent positive ions and element in group 17 form univalent negative ions. Hence, when a group 1 element reacts with a group 17 element, a compound of the sort MX is formed. Hence, when a group 1 element reacts with bromine, a salt is formed with the general formula MBr.

Elements of group 1 are highly electro positive metals. They react with water to form the metal hydroxide and release hydrogen gas. Hence, when group 1 elements react with water, hydrogen gas is released.

A group 1 element forms a univalent positive ion while a group 16 element forms a divalent negative ion. Hence, when a groups 1 element reacts with oxygen, the compound formed must have the general formula M2O.

The reactivity of group 1 metal increases down the group hence Cs is the most reactive group 1 element.

Lithium displays a slightly different chemistry from other group 1 elements because of its small size.
