Chemistry
1 answer:
SashulF [63]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Neon (Ne) has the most stable outer electron configuration because the outer electron is completely filled and it has octet structure

Explanation:

The configuration of these elements is as follows;

Cl₁₇ = 2, 8,7 (the outer electron is 7)

Ca₂₀ = 2,8,8,2 (the outer electron is 2)

Ne₁₀ = 2,8 (the outer electron is 8)

Na₁₁ = 2,8,1 (the outer electron is 1)

Based on the outer electron value above, Neon (Ne) has the most stable outer electron configuration because the outer electron is completely filled and it has octet structure.

Balance the following equation in acidic conditions. phases are optional.
Elanso [62]
This is an oxidation reduction reaction
oxidation happens when the species gives out electrons.Oxidation state of the element Cu increases from 0 to +2
Cu  ---> Cu²⁺ +2e --1)
Reduction happens when the species gains electrons.
Oxidation state of N reduces from +5 to +2
4H⁺ + NO₃⁻ + 3e ---> NO + 2H₂O --2)
To balance the reactions, number of electrons need to be balanced. 
Multiply 1st reaction by 3
Multiply 2nd reaction by 2
3Cu  ---> 3Cu²⁺ + 6e
8H⁺ + 2NO₃⁻ + 6e ---> 2NO + 4H₂O
add the 2 equations 
3Cu + 8H⁺ + 2NO₃⁻ --> 3Cu²⁺ + 2NO + 4H₂O
add 6NO₃⁻ ions to each side 
3Cu + 8HNO₃ --> 3Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2NO + 4H₂O
the balanced redox reaction equation is as follows;

3Cu(s) + 8HNO₃(aq) --> 3Cu(NO₃)₂ (aq)+ 2NO(g) + 4H₂O(l)
