<u>Answer:</u> The correct option is D. Zn+Cu^{2+}\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+Cu

<u>Explanation:</u>

Redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction take place simultaneously. It is known as the reaction in which the exchange of electrons takes place.  

The oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a chemical species loses electrons in a chemical reaction. It occurs when the oxidation number of a species increases.

A reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a chemical species gains electrons in a chemical reaction. It occurs when the oxidation number of a species decreases.

From the given ionic reactions:

Zn+Cu^{2+}\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+Cu

<u>On the reactant side: </u>

Oxidation number of Zn = 0

Oxidation number of Cu = +2

<u>On the product side: </u>

Oxidation number of Cu = 0

Oxidation number of Zn = +2

As the oxidation number of Zn is increasing from 0 to +2. Thus, it is getting oxidized. Similarly, the oxidation number of Cu is decreasing from +2 to 0. Thus, it is getting reduced. Therefore, forming a redox couple

Hence, the correct option is D. Zn+Cu^{2+}\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+Cu

How many covalent bonds does nitrogen form if each of its unpaired electrons participate in one bond?
nirvana33 [79]

Nitrogen could form 3 covalent bonds if each of its unpaired electrons participates in one bond.

Nitrogen atom forms 3 bonds based on octet rule, because it has 5 valence electrons. That means it needs 3 bonds or three more electrons.

<h3>Further Explanation;</h3><h3>Chemical bond  </h3>
  • A bond is a type of force that is formed between atoms of different through the sharing or transfer of electrons.
<h3>Octet rule</h3>
  • According to the octet rule for an atom to be stable it must have maximum number of electrons in its outermost energy level. Therefore an atom with four electrons requires four more electrons to attain stability.
<h3>Types of chemical bonds.</h3><h3>Covalent bond  </h3>
  • This is a type of bond that is formed between non-metal atoms. It is formed as a result of sharing electrons between non-metal atoms involved.
  • When atoms involved contribute equal number of electrons to the bond formation, the type of bond is known as covalent bond
  • A covalent bond may be a dative covalent bond, when the shared electrons come from one atom.
<h3>Ionic bond  </h3>
  • This is a type of bond that occurs between metal ions and non-metal ions. Ionic bond occurs as a result of transfer of electrons from one metal atom to another non-metal atom.
  • After the transfer of electrons, metal atom loses electron to form a cation while the non-metal atom gains electrons to form an anion.
<h3>Other types of chemical bonds include;</h3>
  • Hydrogen bonds
  • Metallic bonds
  • Dipole-dipole interactions, etc.

Keywords: Chemical bond, covalent bond, atom

What kind of chemical bonds are represented by the product in the following diagram?
katovenus [111]
The chemical bonds in CH4 are all single bonds. C only can bond 4 times because it needs 8 electrons in it's outer shell and only has four right now. The bonds represented are all single bonds because there are two electrons present on each side of the carbon. Two electrons, in this case, equals one bond.
