Salt solution such as sodium chloride (NaCl) conducts an electric current because it has ions in it that have the freedom to move about in solution. ... On the other hand, sugar solution does not conduct an electric current because sugar (C12H22O11) dissolves in water to produce sugar molecules
Answer: The half-reactions represents reduction are as follows.
Explanation:
A half-reaction where addition of electrons take place or a reaction where decrease in oxidation state of an element takes place is called reduction-half reaction.
For example, the oxidation state of Cr in 
is +6 which is getting converted into +3, that is, decrease in oxidation state is taking place as follows.
Similarly, oxidation state of Mn in 
is +7 which is getting converted into +2, that is, decrease in oxidation state is taking place as follows.
Thus, we can conclude that half-reactions represents reduction are as follows.
Answer:
B) They will react because X and Y can share two pairs of electrons to become stable
Explanation:
The electron configurations of two elements x and y are given :
X: 1s2 2s2 2p6
Y: 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6
The statement that is true for both the elements is that, they both will react as they both can share two pairs of electrons to become stable.
To become stable the outermost shell or p orbital should have 8 electrons, so element X can gain 2 atoms to become stable.
Element Y can also react as it can also share two atoms to fulfill its 3p orbital and will stable.
Hence, the correct option is "B".
Answer:
The elements are in the same column/group IIA.
See the explanation below, please.
Explanation:
The elements Calcium, Strontium, Beryllium, Magnesium, Barium and Radio, belong to the group of alkaline earth metals located in group IIA of the periodic table, they require 2 electrons to complete their octet (they have 2 valence electrons). reagents than alkali metals.
