The acids and bases refer to the chemical components, which reacts with water. The molecules of acids dissociate to give hydrogen ions to water, while the bases dissociate to provide hydroxide ions to the water, or that takes hydrogen ions from water and leave the hydroxide ions behind.
Answer:
Fe + O2 + H₂O___ Fe2O3 + H₂O.
6Fe+302+H2O______2fe 203+H2O
Hey there!
3d band can hold as many as 10 electrons, while 4s can bear as many as two electrons.
The maximum number of electrons for this composite band should be 12 electrons.
Hope that helps!
