Answer is: formula of the complex is [Cr(NH₃)₂(SCN)₄<span>]</span>⁻<span>.
This complex has negative charge (-1) because chromium (central atom or metal) has oxidation number +3, first ligand ammonia has neutral charge and second ligand thiocyanate has negative oxidation number -1:
+3 + 2</span>·0 + 4·(-1) = -1.
Answer:
The reason carbon-13 is more abundant than carbon-14 despite them both being isotopes is because carbon-13 is stable and doesn't decay into other elements, unlike carbon 14.
Explanation:
Carbon isotopes come in three forms. By far the most common isotope of carbon is carbon-12 (12C), which contains six neutrons in addition to its six protons. The next heaviest carbon isotope, carbon-13 (13C), has seven neutrons. Both 12C and 13C are called stable isotopes since they do not decay into other forms or elements over time. The rare carbon-14 (14C) isotope contains eight neutrons in its nucleus. Unlike 12C and 13C, this isotope is unstable, or radioactive. Over time, a 14C atom will decay into a stable product.
If the question is multiple choice the answer would be:
2) 2
The answer is C. One item replacing another is a single replacement, but when two items trade places in two separate molecules it’s double replacement.
