The starting substances in a chemical reaction are called reactants - they are written on the left side of a chemical equation.
It is really easy if you look up an electron configuration table (one that looks like a periodic table) and then just go down the rows left to right, top to bottom, and just stop when you get to where the element is on the table.
Well in this
case, silver
nitrate is reduced:
Ag<span>+ </span><span>+ </span>e<span>− </span>→ Ag(s) ↓
Meanwhile, the aluminum
is oxidized forming a positive ion:
Al(s<span>) → </span>Al<span>3+ </span><span>+ 3</span>e−
To get the
overall reaction, we add the half
equations so that the electrons are eliminated:
Al(s<span>) + 3</span>Ag<span>+ </span><span>→ </span>Al<span>3+ </span><span>+ 3</span>Ag(s)
And similarly:
Al(s<span>) + 3</span>AgNO3(aq<span>) → </span>Al(NO3)3(aq<span>) + 3</span>Ag(s<span>)</span>
All of them are soluble salt.
First one dissociates into two ions.
The second one dissociates into 3 ions.
The third dissociate into 4 ions. therefore, Al(NO3)3
Answer:
Explanation:The atomic number of sodium is 11. That is, the number of electrons in sodium is 11. Therefore, a sodium atom will have two electrons in the first shell, eight in the 2nd orbit, and an electron in the 3rd shell.
