Answer:
Explanation:
Use your other senses such as touch or smell, does it react in different temperatures, is it then visible under a microscope, does it react with different elements or gases? Think outside the box.
Answer:
3 e⁻ transfer has occurred.
Explanation
This is a redox reaction.
- Oxidation (loss of electrons or increase in the oxidation state of entity)
- Reduction (gain of electrons or decrease in the oxidation state of the entity)
- An element undergoes oxidation or reduction in order to achieve a stable configuration. It can be an octet or duplet configuration. An octet configuration is that of outer shell configuration of noble gas.
- [Ne]= (1s²) (2s² 2p⁶)
A combination of both the reactions( Half-reactions) leads to a redox reaction.
Let us look at initial configurations of Al and Cl
[Al]= 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p¹
[Cl]= 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁵
Hence, Al can lose 3 electrons to achieve octet config.
and, Cl can gain 1e to achieve nearest noble gas config. [Ar]
This reaction can be rewritten, by clearly mentioning the oxidation states of all the entities involved.
Al⁰ + Cl⁰ → (Al⁺³)(Cl⁻)₃
Here, Aluminum is undergoing an oxidation(i.e loss of electrons) from: 0→(+3)
Chlorine undergoes a reduction half reaction (i.e gain of electrons) from: 0→(-1). There are 3 such chlorine atoms, hence 3 e⁻ transfer has occurred.
- See charge on ion is -1 .
Hence it has taken 1 electron
Now first look at EC of Fluorine(F)
- Now one electron added .hence no of electrons is 10now
Look at the EC
Or
![\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow [He]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5C%5C%20%5Cbull%5Csf%5Cdashrightarrow%20%5BHe%5D)
Option C is correct.
Answer: Physical properties
Explanation: Can be measured without changing a substance's chemical identity.
