Corroding iron. The reason why iron corrodes is that it reacts with the oxygen in the air to create iron oxide which is what we call rust. when iron turns to rust, the chemical identity of the iron changes.
when you break ice, the ice is still ice. that water did not change into something else. when you run a current through copper, the electrons in the copper move due to the voltage but the copper is not changing. After the circuit stops, the copper wires are still made out of copper (the copper did not undergo a chemical change). When you melt gold, the gold is only going from solid form to liquid form. The gold has not changed chemically, it just underwent a phase change.
I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
Hey there!
The best way to balance chemical equations is to first start by balancing polyatomic ions such as OH and SO₄.
Next, balance other elements, but save elements that are by themselves for last, such as H₂ or Fe. Once you balance everything else you can do the ones by themselves, it's much easier.
Hope this helps!
Atomic mass? I'm not shre

Explanation:
The colour of many transition metal complexes stem from transitions of electrons between energy levels. These transitions are governed by the spin selection rules and the colour is determined by the magnitude of crystal field splitting.
According to the spin selection rules, transitions in which ΔS = 0 are forbidden. Hence, a Mn^2+high spin compound is expected to be colourless. However, contrary to the spin selection rules Mn^2+high spin compounds do exhibit transitions in which the intensity is only about one-hundredth of the intensity of the spin allowed transitions. Thus many Mn^2+ high spin compounds such as Mn(NO3)2 are very pale pink or off white.
Note also that the crystal field stabilization energy of Mn^2+ which is a d^5 low spin ion is zero hence the very pale colour observed.
K4[Mn(CN)6] is deep blue as a result of charge transfer. Also, the compound exhibits an observed crystal field stabilization energy because it is a d^5 low spin compound hence the observed colour. Its low spin nature is because the cyanide ion is a strong field ligand hence it causes a greater magnitude of crystal filed splitting.
The following compounds are colourless;
Zn(NO3)2
CdSO4
AgClO3
One thing that is common to all the compounds listed above is that they are all d^10 compounds. This means that they all possess completely filled d-orbitals hence they are colourless.
