Mercury expands when it is heated. This process is called thermal expansion.
Answer:
- <em>Oxidation half-reaction</em>:
Fe²⁺(aq) → Fe³⁺(aq) + 1e⁻
- <em>Reduction half-reaction</em>:
Ce⁴⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ → Ce³⁺(aq)
Explanation:
The reaction that takes place is:
- Fe²⁺(aq) + Ce⁴⁺(aq) → Fe³⁺(aq) + Ce³⁺(aq)
The <em>oxidation half-reaction</em> is:
- Fe²⁺(aq) → Fe³⁺(aq) + 1e⁻
It is an oxidation because the oxidation state of Fe increases from 2+ to 3+.
The <em>reduction half-reaction</em> is:
- Ce⁴⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ → Ce³⁺(aq)
It is a reduction because the oxidation state of Ce decreases from 4+ to 3+.
An atom of carbon has 4 electrons in its outermost shell, which means that
<span>its ionic charge is 4+ or 4-
</span>Si is in same group as carbon so its also 4+ or 4-
Germanium is 4+.
Sn is also 2+ or 4+
Pb is usually +2
Answer: Because hydrogen is a gas.
Explanation: If children were running around with balloons filled with hydrogen gas, then they would catch fire. So the answer to your question is, its simply dangerous.
