Answer:

C. copper.

Explanation:

  • The atom which loses electrons (its oxidation sate be more positive) is the atom that is oxidized.
  • While, the atom which gains electrons (its oxidation sate be more negative) is the atom that is reduced.

  • Nitrogen:

It is oxidation sate is changed from (+5) in the reactants (NO₃⁻) to (+4) in the products (NO₂). N gains 1 electron

So, it is reduced.

  • Oxygen:

It is oxidation sate is the same (-2) in the reactants (NO₃⁻) and (-2) in the products (NO₂).

<em>So, it is neither be oxidized nor reduced.</em>

<em></em>

  • Copper:

It is oxidation sate is changed (0) in the reactants (Cu) to (+2) in the products (Cu²⁺). Cu loses 2 electrons.

<em>So, it is oxidized.</em>

<em></em>

  • Hydrogen:

It is oxidation sate is the same (+1) in the reactants (H⁺) and (+1) in the products (H₂O).

<em>So, it is neither be oxidized nor reduced.</em>

The filling of which orbital is represented by the transition metals in period 4?
Sindrei [870]

Answer: 3d

Explantion:

1) Period 4 contains the elements with atomic numbers 19 through 36.

2) The elements with atomic numbers 19 (K) and 20 (Ca) fill the orbital 4s.

3) After that, as Aufbau's rule may help you to remember, the energy of the orbitals 3d is lower than the energy of the orbtitals 4p. So, the element 21 (Sc) start fillind the orbital 3d.

There are ten 3d orbitals, so the elements 21 through 30 fill the 3d orbitals.

Those elements, called transition metals are: Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn.

When the 3d orbitals are full, the next elements in the same period 4, fill the six 4p orbitals.

If an ice cube is added to a warm drink, what changes about the thermal energy of the molecules in the ice cube and drink ?
Alex Ar [27]

The thermal energy heats up the energy in the ice cube causing it to melt and cool off the drink slightly.
