The correct answer is B. The shape of a molecule where three pairs of electrons are shared is a trigonal planar. This is characterized by one central atom and three atoms forming an equilateral triangle which is bonded to the central atom.
Answer:
A
Explanation:
since Mg has a charge of +2 and ClO3 has a charge of 1-, you need 2 ClO3 to cancel out the +2 since 2 ClO3 ions would have a 2- charge
A barometer measures atmospheric pressure.
Answer: the second option: <span>Iron is being oxidized
</span>
Explanation:
1) Oxidation is the increase of the oxidation state (number) due to the loss of electrons.
2) In the given reaction, you can see that in the left side the atom is Fe.
When an element (atom) is not combined (or combined with it self) its oxidation state is 0.
3) In the right side of the given equation you that iron is now in form of cation with charge 2+: Fe²⁺.
That means that the new oxidation state of the element is 2+.
4) This change in the oxidation state, of course, is accompanied by the loss of the two electrons: 2e⁻.
5) Conclusion: the iron has oxidized by losing two electrons and increasing its oxidation state from 0 to 2+.
