Which ion can be both an oxidizing agent and reducing agent?

Chemistry
1 answer:
a_sh-v [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: a)  Sn 2+  

Explanation:A reducing agent is a substance  that can be oxidized when it loses electrons while An oxidizing agent is a substance that is reduced when it gains   electrons.

 Considering  Cu 2+,   Fe 3+, Al 3+, Here,  Cu 2+ can  be reduce to its Copper metal, same for  Al 3+ to Aluminium  metal  and Fe 3+  to Fe 2+ ion  and will not be oxidized further since they are in their most oxidized states. The three ions are acting as only oxidizing agents.

while Sn 2+ can be oxidized to become Sn 4+ and also  be reduced to become Sn metal  acting as a reducing agent and an oxidizing agent.

When is an isotope considered stable?<br> (Select all that apply.)
GaryK [48]

Explanation:

A stable isotope is one that does not emit radiation, or, if it does its half-life is too long to have been measured. It is believed that the stability of the nucleus of an isotope is determined by the ratio of neutrons to protons.

Hope this helps you out : D

Gallium is a metallic element in Group III. It has similar properties to aluminium.
Liula [17]

Answer:

Gallium has Orthorhombic and forms ionic bonds with metals

Explanation:

The structure of gallium is Orthorhombic and it has a high neutron capture cross section. It is very stable in dry air but oxidizes in moist air. It reacts with oxygen to form Ga2O3. It has a valence of III. Its electronic configuration is  

Ar 3d10 4s2 4p1

It is found in the 3A group of periodic table and it mostly forms ionic bonds with metal.

Korolek [52]
In some atoms<span>, the required energy is not sturdy enough to hold the </span>nucleus<span> together, and the </span>nuclei<span> of these </span>atoms<span> are said to be </span>fractionable<span>. </span>Weak atoms will<span> lose neutrons and protons as they attempt to become </span>stable<span>. In this way, atoms need that required energy.

[HELP PLEASE] Describe the difference between the ways valence electrons are rearranged when forming ionic bonds and covalent bo
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions. In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.
