Two elements with the same number of protons but a different number of 2 points

Polar covalent bonds (because hydrogen and oxygen form polar bonds and are both nonmetals so it's covalent) and hydrogen bonds (because the water molecules are attracted to each other with partial charges, causing specific properties like surface tension).

So in my very bad drawing that I attached in case you're more a visual learner, the d- and d+ show the partial charges of hydrogen and oxygen (making it polar, as the electrons in the bond are more shifted towards oxygen, which is why oxygen has a negative sign) and the yellow dotted line show the hydrogen bonds.

What does combustion mean

frutty [35]

Answer:

combustion is a high-temperature exothermic redox chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidant, usually atmospheric oxygen, that produces oxidized, often gaseous products, in a mixture termed as smoke.

The half-cell is a chamber in the voltaic cell where one half-cell is the site of the oxidation reaction and the other half-cell

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

$\boxed{\rm \text{Fe(s) $\rightleftharpoons$ Fe$^{2+}$(aq) + 2e$^{-}$}}$

Explanation:

The half-cell reduction potentials are

Ag⁺(aq) + e⁻ ⇌ Ag(s) E° = 0.7996 V

Fe²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇌ Fe(s) E° = -0.447 V

To create a spontaneous voltaic cell, we reverse the half-reaction with the more negative half-cell potential.

The anode is the electrode at which oxidation occurs.

The equation for the oxidation half-reaction is

$\boxed{\rm \textbf{Fe(s) $\rightleftharpoons$ Fe$^{2+}$(aq) + 2e$^{-}$}}$
