I believe the answer is option B. The bonded pair of valence electrons are shown using circles
Answer:
The proton remains the same.
Explanation:
Oxidation is simply defined as the loss of electron(s) during a chemical reaction either by an atom, molecule or ion.
Oxidation is strictly on the transfer of electron(s) and not proton.
A metal that undergoes oxidation still has its protons intact otherwise it will not be called the ion of the metal since atomic number is called the proton number.
Sodium (Na) undergoes oxidation as follow:
Na —> Na+ + e-
Na is called sodium metal.
Na+ is called sodium ion.
Na has 11 electrons and 11 protons
Na+ has 10 electrons and 11 protons
From the above illustration, we can see that the protons of Na and Na+ are the same why their electrons differ because Na+ indicates that 1 electron has been loss or transferred.
Answer:
the equilibrium constant is 1.8 x 10⁻5 and strongly favor the reactants.
Explanation:
the chemical reaction provided for the two equation are the same but different direction i.e a reversible reaction. Assuming, the mass of reactants and product and temperature remain constant.
therefore, the equilibrium constant K, is 1.8 x 10⁻5. this is a very small value of K, thereby strongly favor the backward direction to form reactant.
Magnesium nitrate o not react with magnesium sulfate because it cannot displace the ions involved. The cations are the same so they just cancel the charges. If you look at it, even of a reaction occurs the product will still be the same substances.
