Answer:

The valence shell (the 3s and 3p sublevels) contains six electrons, but it needs eight to become stable. Think of the octet rule. Therefore a sulfur atom will gain two electrons to form the sulfide anion with a charge of 2− , with the symbol S2− .

Which statement describes an Arrhenius acid

liq [111]

Answer:

According to the Lewis concept, an acid is defined as a substance that accepts electron pairs and base is defined as a substance which donates electron pairs. Hence, the correct statement is arrhenius acid produces hydrogen ions in solution.

How does carbon dioxide behave differently (its properties) as a gas compared with as a solid?

ankoles [38]

It is effected by diffusion (the power of smell and wind spread) but a solid is not.

1) B+3 is ok. The exercise already put B+3. What

2) Ge is a neutral atom because it doesn't have any charge.

Germanium has 32 electrons and 32 protons because its atomic number is 32.

Be careful with that.

Neutral atoms have the same numbers of electrons and protons.

Write a balanced half-reaction for the reduction of permanganate ion mno−4 to solid manganese dioxide mno2 in acidic aqueous sol

Svetlanka [38]

The half-reaction includes either the reduction or the oxidation reaction of the redox reactions. In acidic solution permanganate ion will react with hydrogen ion to yield manganese ion and water.

<h3>What are Redox reactions?</h3>

Redox or oxidation-reduction reactions are the chemical reactions in which the oxidation and the reduction of the chemical species occur simultaneously.

Permanganate (VII) ion is a strong oxidizing agent and gets easily reduced to manganese ion in presence of the hydrogen ion in an acidic solution.

The balanced half-reaction for reduction is shown as,

$\rm MnO_{4}^{-} \; (aq)+ 8H^{+} \; (aq)+ 5e^{-} \rightarrow Mn^{2+} \; (aq)+ 4H_{2}O \; (l)$
