Answer:

  • aqueous LiBr → hydrogen gas
  • molten LiBr → solid lithium
  • Aqueous AgBr → solid silver
  • molten AgBr → solid silver

Explanation:

Electrolysis is a process in which an electric current is passed through an electrolyte in an electrolytic cell. The electrolyte maybe in <em>aqueous form or in molten state. </em>The electrolyte is an ionic compound, so during electrolysis, the anions move towards anode while the cations move towards the cathode. Oxidation takes place at the anode. While reduction takes place at the cathode.

In the molten form, only the constituent ions are present to be oxidized or reduced. Thus, in electrolysis of molten LiBr, lithium is reduced at the cathode and bromine is oxidized at the anode.

Li^{+}(aq) + e^{-} → Li(s)

Solid Lithium is produced at the cathode

Similarly, solid Silver is produced at the cathode during electrolysis of molten AgBr:

Ag^{+}(aq) + e^{-} → Ag(s)

However, in aqueous form, H_{2} O ions and LiBr ions compete with each other. Since H+ has a greater standard redox potential than lithium,H+ will be reduced at the cathode to produce hydrogen gas

2H^{+}(aq) + 2e^{-} → H_{2}(g)

Similarly,in aqueous AgBr, Ag will be produced at the cathode because the standard redox potential for Ag+ is higher than H+ .

Ag^{+}(aq) + e^{-} → Ag(s)

Two electrons are found in the same atom. One has the quantum number set (2, 1, -1, +½), and the other has the quantum number se
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer is: same orbital, but have different spin directions.

The principal quantum number (n) is one of four quantum numbers which are assigned to each electron in an atom to describe that electron's state.  

For principal quantum number n=2:  

1) azimuthal quantum number (l) can be l = 0...n-1:  

l = 0, 1.  

The azimuthal quantum number determines its orbital angular momentum and describes the shape of the orbital.  

2) magnetic quantum number (ml) can be ml = -l...+l.  

ml = -1, 0,+1.  

Magnetic quantum number specify orientation of electrons in magnetic field and number of electron states (orbitals) in subshells.  

3) the spin quantum number (ms), is the spin of the electron.  

ms = +1/2, -1/2.
