Reduction half reaction: Cu²⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Cu⁰(s).
Oxidation half reaction: NO₂⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) → NO₃⁻(aq) + 2H⁺(aq) + 2e⁻.
Balanced chemical reaction:
Cu²⁺(aq) + NO₂⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) → Cu(s) + NO₃⁻(aq) + 2H⁺(aq).
Copper is reduced from oxidation number +2 (Cu²⁺) to oxidation number 0 (Cu) and nitrogen is oxidized from oxidation number +3 (in NO₂⁻) to oxidation number +5 (in NO₃⁻).
Here is your answer

REASON:
Elements which have 4 valence electrons are generally metalloids.
The metalloids show the properties of both metals and non-metals.
We know that,
no. of protons= Atomic number
So,
Atomic no.= 32
Hence,
The element is Germanium which is a metalloid with 4 valence electrons and has 32 protons in nucleus of each atom because it has atomic no. 32
