No. The answer is false.
Just read that sentence aloud and you'll know that it does not sound right
The distance from the nucleus is close to the electron orbital of the earth
To write a complete balanced reaction of a redox reaction, we need to know the half reactions of the molecules involved in the reaction and to balance these reactions. From, the problem statement ClO2- is oxidized to ClO4- so the half reaction would be:
(ClO)2- = (ClO)4-
To balance,
We first balance the elements except O and H in the reaction.
(ClO2)- = (ClO4)-
Then, we balance O by adding H2O and balance H by adding H+
(ClO2)- + 2H2O = (ClO4)- + 2H+
Then, we balance the charges by adding electrons,
(ClO2)- + 2H2O = (ClO4)- + 2H+ + e-
Then for Ag+ to Ag,
Ag+ = Ag
We just need to balance the charge,
Ag+ + e- = Ag
To determine the final equation, we add both half reactions:
(ClO2)- + 2H2O = (ClO4)- + 2H+ + e-
Ag+ + e- = Ag
