Answer:

[Cl-18]⁻ & [Cl-20]⁻

Explanation:

By definition isotopes are elements with the same number of protons by different number of neutrons. Elements X-18 & X-20 have 17 protons and represent Chlorine isotopes Cl-18 & Cl-20 each with 17 protons and 18 electrons to give the isotopes a -1 oxidation state. Both isotope of chlorine have 7 electron in its valence shell and 10 electrons in its core structure.  Gaining 1 electron fills the valence octet and establishes a -1 oxidation state.

Examine the equation.
Alisiya [41]

Explanation:

The reaction expression is given as;

                 2H₂_{g}   +  O₂_{g}   →   2H₂O_{l}

From the balance reaction expression:

 2 mole of hydrogen gas combines with 1 mole of oxygen gas on the reactant side;

This produces 2 mole of water on the product side of the expression.

The product is in liquid form.

 This reaction is a synthesis reaction because a single product is formed from two reactants.

What is 2n^2 rule ( of science)​
lozanna [386]

2n² rule:

This rule is used to determine number of electrons in particular shell.

n=1 means K shell

n=2 means L shell

n=3 means M shell

n=4means N shell

The first K shell can hold upto 2 electrons, L shell can hold up to 8, third M shell can hold up to 18and the fourth N shell can hold upto 32 electrons. This rule of arrangement of electrons according to the shell is known 2n2 rule where n means number of shell.

For example: There is one proton in the nucleus of hydrogen atom, which moves in K shell path. It has no neutron.
