I thinking the limitation is that a shifting electron will always move from a more excited states to a less excited state. Electrons could not circle the nucleus because they would lose energy by emitting electromagnetic radiation and spiral into the nucleus. In addition Bohr was not able to explain electrons orbits of large atom w/many electrons.
Answer:
the symbol of an iron is Fe (ferous, feric).
The reducing agent in the reaction 2Li(s) + Fe(CH₃COO)₂(aq) → 2LiCH₃COO(aq) + Fe(s) is lithium (Li).
The general reaction is:
2Li(s) + Fe(CH₃COO)₂(aq) → 2LiCH₃COO(aq) + Fe(s) (1)
We can write the above reaction in <u>two reactions</u>, one for oxidation and the other for reduction:
Li⁰(s) → Li⁺(aq) + e⁻ (2)
Fe²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Fe⁰(s) (3)
We can see that Li⁰ is oxidizing to Li⁺ (by <u>losing</u> one electron) in the lithium acetate (<em>reaction 2</em>) and that Fe²⁺ in iron(II) acetate is reducing to Fe⁰ (by <u>gaining</u> two <em>electrons</em>) (<em>reaction 3</em>).
We must remember that the reducing agent is the one that will be oxidized by <u>reducing another element</u> and that the oxidizing agent is the one that will be reduced by <u>oxidizing another species</u>.
In reaction (1), the<em> reducing agent</em> is <em>Li</em> (it is oxidizing to Li⁺), and the <em>oxidizing agent </em>is<em> Fe(CH₃COO)₂</em> (it is reducing to Fe⁰).
Therefore, the reducing agent in reaction (1) is lithium (Li).
