Answer:
Redox type
Explanation:
The reaction is:
2Cr + 3Fe(NO₃)₂ → 2Fe + 2Cr(NO₃)₃
2 moles of chromium can react to 3 moles of iron (II) nitrate in order to produce 2 moles of iron and 2 moles of chromium nitrate.
If we see oxidation state, we see that chromium changes from 0 to +3
Iron changed the oxidation state from +2 to 0
Remember that elements at ground state has 0, as oxidation state.
Iron is being reduced while chromium is oxidized. Then, the half reactions are:
Fe²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⇄ Fe (Reduction)
Cr ⇄ Cr³⁺ + 3e⁻ (Oxidation)
When an element is being reduced, while another is being oxidized, we are in prescence of a redox reaction.
Answer:
2 electrons
Explanation:
The K shell is the innermost orbit and it contains 2 electrons
Answer:
Option B
Explanation:
Magnesium is an alkali earth metal and chlorine is a nonmetal. Due to this, and their differences in electronegativity, the elements form an ionic bond. Since magnesium has two valence electrons, it will give them up to two chlorine atoms (which has 7 valence electrons), which needs them to complete its octet. From this, magnesium forms a cation, and will have the ion formula Mg(2+). The two chlorine atoms form anions, and will have the ion formula Cl(1-).
Terms:
- Cation: a positively charged ion
- Anion: a negatively charge ion.
- Electronegativity: the tendency of an atom in a molecule to attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself.
