3 0

Answer: No charge (0)

Explanation:

The atom has a proton of 22 and electron number of 19. This means the element has lost 3 electrons. Therefore, the net charge is +3.

So, if this atom gains 3 more electrons, the net charge would be zero (neutral).

The total number of electron would now be 22 which is the same as the proton number.

This implies the atom is now in an unreacted state or ground state.

Why do atoms form blonds

lakkis [162]

Answer:

Atoms form chemical bonds to make their outer electron shells more stable. ... An ionic bond, where one atom essentially donates an electron to another, forms when one atom becomes stable by losing its outer electrons and the other atoms become stable (usually by filling its valence shell) by gaining the electrons.

Balance the following redox equation in acidic solution using the smallest integers possible and select the correct coefficient

romanna [79]

Answer:

Coefficient of $H^{+}(aq)$ is more than 4

Explanation:

Oxidation: $Sn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Sn^{4+}(aq)$

Balance charge: $Sn^{2+}(aq)-2e^{-}\rightarrow Sn^{4+}(aq)$ ......(1)

Reduction: $Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow Cr^{3+}(aq)$

Balance Cr: $Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}(aq)$
Balance O and H in acidic medium: $Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq)+14H^{+}(aq)\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}(aq)+7H_{2}O(l)$
Balance charge: $Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq)+14H^{+}(aq)+6e^{-}\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}(aq)+7H_{2}O(l)$ .......(2)

$[3\times Equation-(1)]+Equation(2)$ gives balanced equation:

$3Sn^{2+}(aq)+Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq)+14H^{+}(aq)\rightarrow 3Sn^{4+}(aq)+2Cr^{3+}(aq)+7H_{2}O(l)$

So coefficient of $H^{+}(aq)$ is more than 4

a. For the reaction 2H2 + 02→ 2H20, how many moles of water can be produced from 6.0 mol of oxygen? 2.0 mol b. 6.0 mol 12 mol d.

pickupchik [31]

Explanation:

from the equation 1 mole of O2 will give 2 moles of H2O then 6.0 moles of O2 will give x

6.0*2 moles/ 1 mole

= 12 moles

this implies that, 6.0 moles of O2 will give = 12 moles of water

Flourine is more reactive than chlorine . why ? with short reason.

Talja [164]

Answer:

Electronegativity is probably the biggest thing that plays into reactivity. Therefore, since fluorine has a higher electronegativity than chlorine, fluorine is more reactive.
