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.

In full detail, explain what happens during the electrolysis of a NaCl brine? Be sure to identify what is being oxidized and wha

yuradex [85]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electrolysis of aqeous sodium chloride(NaCl)

Electrolysis is a process that converts electrical energy into chemical energy.

Electrolytic processes involves three major steps:

1. Ionization of electrolyte and water

2. Migration of ions to electrodes

3. Discharge of ions at the electrodes.

For the Electrolysis of brine, we follow these three steps:

1. Ionization of the aqeous brine solution:

NaCl → Na⁺ + Cl⁻

H₂O ⇄H⁺ + OH⁻

2. Migration of ions to the electrodes

The positive charges Na⁺ and H⁺ would both go to the cathode which is the negatively charged electrode

The negative charges Cl⁻ and OH⁻ migrates to the anode which are the positively charged electrodes. The anode is positively charged electrode.

3. Discharge of ions at the electrodes.

The preferential discharge of ions is based on the activity series and concentration of the ions.

On the activity series H is lower and it discharges preferentially to Na in the cathode:

2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂

At this electrode, the cathode, reduction occurs and H⁺ ions are reduced.

At the anode Cl⁻ and OH⁻ migrates. But Cl⁻ is discharged preferentially due to its higher concentration.

2Cl⁻ ⇄ Cl₂ + 2e⁻

This is the oxidation half and Cl is oxidized

What heavier element is created when hydrogen atoms fuse together in the sun’s core?

sergey [27]

Answer:

Helium is created from hydrogen in the sun's core.

Four hydrogen-1 nuclei fuse to produce

one helium-4 nucleus, two neutrons,
two positrons, and
two electron neutrinos.

Explanation:

Step One:

${\rm ^1_1 H + ^1_1 H\to ^2_1 H + e^{+}} + v_e$ .

Two hydrogen-1 nuclei fuse. One proton will convert to a neutron. The products will be

one hydrogen-2 nucleus,
one positron, and
one electron neutrino.

Step Two:

$\rm ^1_1 H +^2_1 H \to ^3_2 He$ .

There are plenty of hydrogen-1 nuclei available in the core of the sun. The hydrogen-2 nucleus from step one will fuse with a hydrogen-1 nucleus. The product is

one helium-3 nucleus.

Step Three

$\rm ^3_2 He + ^3_2 He \to ^4_2 He + ^1_1 H + ^1_1 H$ .

Two helium-3 nuclei from step two react with each other. The products are:

one helium-4 nucleus, and
two hydrogen-1 nuclei.

The overall reaction will be:

${\rm 6\; ^1_1 H \to ^4_2 He + 2\; ^1_1 H+2\; e^{+}}+v_\text{e}$ .

${\rm 4\; ^1_1 H \to ^4_2 He + 2\; e^{+}} + v_\text{e}$

In other words, hydrogen nuclei in the core of the sun fuse together to form helium.
