Oxygen. Is the correct answer
Oxygen has the same number of valence electrons as sulfur. An ion can be an element that gained or lost an electron.
Hi!
The correct options would be:
1. Cathode - <em>reduction</em>
The cathode is the negatively charged electrode, and so has an excess of electrons. Cations (positively charged ions) are attracted to the cathode, and gain electrons to acquire a neutral charge. The process in which a gain of electron occurs is called reduction.
2. Anode - <em>oxidation</em>
The opposite occurs at the anode which is positively charged and attracts negatively charged ions, anions. These anions lose their electrons at the anode to acquire a neutral charge, and the process involving loss of electrons is known as oxidation.
3. Salt Bridge - <em>ion transport </em>
Salt bridge is a physical connection between the the anodic and cathodic half cells in an electrochemical cell and is a pathway that facilitates the flow of ions back and forth these half cells. Salt bridge is involved in maintaining a neutral condition in the electrochemical cells, and its absence would result in the accumulation of positive charge in the anodic cell, and negative charge in the cathodic cell.
4. Wire - <em>electron transport </em>
Wires have a universal role of being a pathway for the transport of electrons in circuit. This role is also the same in the wires involved in an electrochemical cells where they are used to transport electrons from the anodic half cell, and this electron transport results in the generation of electricity in the internal circuit of the electrochemical cell.
Hope this helps!
Ionic compounds conduct electricity when dissolved in water, because the dissociated ions can carry charge through the solution. Molecular compounds don't dissociate into ions and so don't conduct electricity in solution. Electrical conductivity of the compound in liquid form
Answer : Yes, a precipitate form when a solution of calcium chloride and a solution of mercury(I) nitrate are mixed together.
The net ionic equation will be,
Explanation :
In the net ionic equations, we are not include the spectator ions in the equations.
Spectator ions : The ions present on reactant and product side which do not participate in a reactions. The same ions present on both the sides.
The given balanced ionic equation will be,
The ionic equation in separated aqueous solution will be,
In this equation, 
are the spectator ions.
By removing the spectator ions from the balanced ionic equation, we get the net ionic equation.
The net ionic equation will be,
