I can’t see the question :/
<em><u>The Rutherford model shows that an atom is mostly empty space, with electrons orbiting a fixed, positively charged nucleus in set, predictable paths.</u></em>
Zinc is a metal. At STP, it exists as solid and is stable as it is. It is an important mineral and is used in many applications like in food, metal and drugs. Zinc can be found in the Earth's crust and also it is present in small amounts in some food.
Answer:
- <em>Oxidation half-reaction</em>:
Fe²⁺(aq) → Fe³⁺(aq) + 1e⁻
- <em>Reduction half-reaction</em>:
Ce⁴⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ → Ce³⁺(aq)
Explanation:
The reaction that takes place is:
- Fe²⁺(aq) + Ce⁴⁺(aq) → Fe³⁺(aq) + Ce³⁺(aq)
The <em>oxidation half-reaction</em> is:
- Fe²⁺(aq) → Fe³⁺(aq) + 1e⁻
It is an oxidation because the oxidation state of Fe increases from 2+ to 3+.
The <em>reduction half-reaction</em> is:
- Ce⁴⁺(aq) + 1e⁻ → Ce³⁺(aq)
It is a reduction because the oxidation state of Ce decreases from 4+ to 3+.
