Zn, Cd, and Ag are transition metals that usually form only one monoatomic cation.
A monatomic cation is a cation made of only one atom.
Cations are positively charged ions, in this example Ag⁺, Cd²⁺ and Zn²⁺.
These cations form only one type of ion, while iron and copper form more than one type of cations.
Iron and copper form cations with different charges (Fe²⁺, Fe³⁺, Cu⁺, Cu²⁺).
It depends on electron configuration which type would be formed.
Electron configuration of zinc atom: ₃₀Zn 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 3d¹⁰ 4s²
Transition metals are elements in the d-block of the Periodic table.

Answer:
E = 0.062 V
Explanation:
(a) See the attached file for the answer
(b)
Calculating the voltage (E) using the formula;
E = - (2.303RT/nf)log Cathode/Anode
Where,
R = 8.314 J/K/mol
T = 35°C = 308 K
F- Faraday's constant = 96500 C/mol,
n = number of moles of electron = 2
Substituting, we have
E = -(2.303 * 8.314 *308/2*96500) *log (0.03/3)
= -0.031 * -2
= 0.062V
Therefore, the voltmeter will show a voltage of 0.062 V
After 2 half-lives there will be 25% (1/4th) of the original isotope, and 75% (3/4 th) of the decay product
<h3>What is Half life period ?</h3>
A half life is a measurement of the slope of an exponential decay function.
It is also defined as, the time it takes to halve the concentration of something in a process.
Each half life you will have half of what you had at the beginning of a given half life.
