Answer:

Diamagnetism in atom occurs whenever two electrons in an orbital paired equalises with a total spin of 0.

Paramagnetism in atom occurs whenever at least one orbital of an atom has a net spin of electron. That is a paramagnetic electron is just an unpaired electron in the atom.

Here is a twist even if an atom have ten diamagnetic electrons, the presence of at least one paramagnetic electron, makes it to be considered as a paramagnetic atom.

Simply put paramagnetic elements are one that have unpaired electrons, whereas diamagnetic elements do have paired electron.

The atomic orbital and radius increases by gaining electron linearly so even electron numbered atoms are diamagnetic while the odd electron numbered atoms are paramagnetic.

Running through the first 18 elements one can observe that there is an alternative odd number of electrons and an even number proofing that that half of the first 18 elements shows paramagnetism and diamagnetism respectively.

2. Mn is Oxidized

3. N is oxidized

Explanation:

<em>Check the image below:</em>

Reducing agent is an element or compound that loses an electron to an electron recipient in a redox chemical reaction. oxidizing agent is a substance that has the ability to oxidize other substances — in other words to accept their electrons.

How many grams of nitric acid will react completely with a block of iron metal that is 4.5 cm by 3.0 cm by 3.5 cm, if the densit
denpristay [2]

Balance the equation first: 

2 Fe+6 HNO3→2 Fe(NO3)3+3H2

Then calculate mass of Iron :

4.5×3.0×3.5 cm3(1 mL1 cm3)(7.87 g Fe1 ml)=371.86 g Fe

Now use Stoichiometry:

371.86 g Fe×(1 mol Fe55.85 g Fe)×(6 mol HNO32 mol Fe)=19.97 mol HNO3

Convert moles of nitric acid to grams

19.97 mol HNO3×(63.01 g HNO31 mol HNO3)=1258.3 g HNO3

A solution may contain Ag+, Pb2+, and/or Hg22+. A white precipitate forms when 6 M HCl is added. The precipitate is partially so
omeli [17]

Answer:

All three are present

Explanation:

Addition of 6 M HCl would form precipitates of all the three cations, since the chlorides of these cations are insoluble: AgCl (s), PbCl_2 (s), Hg_2Cl_2 (s).

  • Firstly, the solid produced is partially soluble in hot water. Remember that out of all the three solids, lead(II) choride is the most soluble. It would easily completely dissolve in hot water. This is how we separate it from the remaining precipitate. Therefore, we know that we have lead(II) cations present, as the two remaining chlorides are insoluble even at high temperatures.
  • Secondly, addition of liquid ammonia would form a precipitate with silver: AgCl (s) + 2 NH_3 (aq) + H_2O (l)\rightarrow [Ag(NH_3)_2]OH (s) + HCl (aq); Silver hydroxide at higher temperatures decomposes into black silver oxide: 2 [Ag(NH_3)_2]OH (s)\rightarrow Ag_2O (s) + H_2O (l) + 4 NH_3 (g).
  • Thirdly, we also know we have Hg_2^{2+} in the mixture, since addition of potassium chromate produces a yellow precipitate: Hg_2^{2+} (aq) + CrO_4^{2-} (aq)\rightarrow Hg_2CrO_4 (s). The latter precipitate is yellow.
