This is the complete question:
Atoms of which element react spontaneously with Mg2+(aq)? (1)chromium
(2)barium
(3)iron
(4)zinc
Answer: option 2. barium.
Explanation.
1) Mg ²⁺ (aq) is the aquous cation of the metal Mg.
2) Only a metal more reactive than Mg will be able to exchange with it the oxidation states.
3) Mg is an earth alkalyne metal (group 2 of the periodic table). The metals from this group are more reactive than the metals in the groups to its right: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, ... Only the alkalyne metals (those in group 1) are more reactive than the earth alkalyne metals.
4) Of the list, barium is the only alkalyne metal, so it is more reactive than Mg and will be able to deliver 2 electrons to transform the cations Mg²⁺ into Mg while the very Ba will become Ba²⁺.
5) Chromium, iron and zinc are transition metals, so less metallic (reactive) than Mg.
Answer:
True.
Explanation:
The Hund's Rule states that all orbitals must be singled occupied before any orbital is doubly occupied, and all the electrons at the singly occupied orbitals have the same spin number. By doing that, the electrons filled the lowest energy orbitals first.
The 2p level has 3 orbitals: 2px, 2py, and 2pz. So, when filling it, first put an electron in the 2px, then in the 2py, then and the 2pz (all with the same spin). After that, the remains electrons can be paired up.
Answer:
Cr(s) ⟶ Cr⁴⁺(aq) + 4e⁻
Explanation:
1. Write the skeleton half-reaction
Cr(s) ⟶ Cr⁴⁺(aq)
2. Balance charge
Add electrons to the side that needs them.
You have 4+ on the right and 0 on the left. You must add 4e⁻ to the right to balance the charge.
Cr(s) ⟶ Cr⁴⁺(aq) + 4e⁻
