Answer:

Cd is oxidized during the discharge of the battery

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

2 NiOOH + Cd + 2H₂O → 2Ni(OH)₂ + Cd(OH)₂

And knowing Oxygen and hydrogen never change its charge, we must to find oxidation state of Ni and Cd before and after the reaction:

<em>Ni:</em>

In NiOOH: 2 O = -2*2 = -4 + 1H = +1, = -4 + 1 = -3. And as the molecule is neutral, Ni is 3+

In Ni(OH)₂: OH = -1. As there are 2 OH = -2. That means Ni is +2

The Ni is gaining one electron, that means is been reduced

<em>Cd:</em>

Cd before reaction is as pure solid with oxidation state = 0

Cd after the reaction is as Cd(OH)₂: 2 OH = -2. That means Cd is +2

The Cd is loosing 2 electrons, that means is the species that is oxidized.

Which pair has identical electron configurations?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Identical electron configurations : K⁺ and Cl⁻

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

In an atom, there are levels of energy in the shell and sub-shell  

This energy level is expressed in the form of electron configurations.  

Charging electrons in the sub-shell uses the following sequence:  

<em>1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d¹⁰, 4p⁶, 5s², 4d¹⁰, 5p⁶, 6s², etc.  </em>

  • S²⁻ and CI

S²⁻ : [Ne] 3s²3p⁶

Cl : [Ne] 3s²3p⁵

  • K⁺ and CI⁻

K⁺ : 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶

Cl⁻ : 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶

  • S and Ar

S :[Ne] 3s²3p⁴

Ar : [Ne] 3s²3p⁶

  • Cl⁻ and K

Cl⁻ : 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²3p⁶

K : 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶4s¹

True or false: the most easily ionizable elements are the most electronegative.
ehidna [41]
<span>False, This is because when you can easily ionize and atom or the chances of it being ionizable are quite high, it means that that particular atom have very low ionization potential that is the reason why it was easily ionizable An atom with a high ionization power and a firmly negative electron fondness will both pull in electrons from different particles and oppose having its electrons taken away; it will be an exceedingly electronegative molecule.</span>

The hybridization for the B in Bcl3 is ?
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

sp²

Explanation:

You need to look at how many electron orbitals around the atom.  Looking at the structure below, you can see that there are three electron orbitals.  This gives you an sp² hybridization.
