Answer:Hydrogen is placed such because it exhibits some similar characteristics of both group1 and group VII elements.
Explanation:
The reason why hydrogen is similar to group 1 metals:
#It has same valence electron and inorder achieve octet state it can lose that electron and forms H+ ion
#It acts as a good reducing agent similar to group1 metals
#It can also halides
Similarity to halogens:
#hydrogen can also gain one electron to gain noble gas configuration. It can combine with other non metals to form molecules with covalent bonding.
#It exists as diatomin molecule,H2
#Have the same electronegativity nature
#its reaction with other metal
The answer is A because I did this before
Answer:
In your case, you have 8 protons and 10 electrons. This means that the atom will carry a total 2 xx (1-) = 2- net charge. Therefore, you are dealing with an anion that carries a 2- net charge, i.e. it has two more electrons than it does protons.
Answer:
2H₂O (liq) + 2e⁻⇒ H₂ (g) + 2OH⁻ (aq)
Explanation:
In reduction-oxidation reaction two reactions take place, one is oxidation and the other is reduction reaction. In an oxidation reaction, there is the loss of an electron whereas in the reduction reaction there is gain of electron occus.
Reduction reaction occurs on the cathode, in a reduction of water there is gain of 2 electrons to gaseous hydrogen in basic aqueous solution. half-reaction for the reduction of liquid water to gaseous hydrogen in basic aqueous solution-
2H₂O (liq) + 2e⁻⇒ H₂ (g) + 2OH⁻ (aq)
