The answer is: lose electrons and form positive ions.
Most metals have strong metallic bond, because of strong electrostatic attractive force between valence electrons (metals usually have low ionization energy and lose electrons easy) and positively charged metal ions.
The ionization energy (Ei) is the minimum amount of energy required to remove the valence electron, when element lose electrons, oxidation number of element grows (oxidation process).
For example, magnesium has atomic number 12, which means it has 12 protons and 12 electrons. It lost two electrons to form magnesium cation (Mg²⁺) with stable electron configuration like closest noble gas neon (Ne) with 10 electrons.
Electron configuration of magnesium ion: ₁₂Mg²⁺ 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.
Answer:
0.46 V
Explanation:
The emf for the cell is given by:
Eº cell = Eº oxidation + Eº reduction
From the given balanced chemical equation, we can deduce that Fe²⁺ has been oxidized to Fe³⁺, and O reduced from 0 to negative 2, according to the half cell reactions:
4Fe²⁺ ⇒ Fe³⁺ + 4e⁻ oxidation
O₂ + 4H⁺ + 4 e⁻ ⇒ 2 H₂O reduction
From reference tables for the standard reduction potential, we get
Eº red Fe³⁺ / Fe²⁺ Eºred = 0.77 V
Eº red O₂ / H₂O Eºred = 1.23 V
Now all we need to do is change the sign of Eº reduction for the species being oxidized ( Fe²⁺ ) and add it to Eº reduction O₂:
Eº cell = Eº oxidation + Eº reduction = - (0.77 V ) + 1.23 V = 0.46 V
Answer is: <span>concentration of NOCl is 3.52 M.
</span>
Balanced chemical reaction: 2NOCl(g) ⇄ 2NO(g) + Cl₂<span>(g).
Kc = 8.0.
</span>[NOCl] = 1.00 M; equilibrium concentration.
[NO] = x.
[Cl₂] = x/2; equilibrium concentration of chlorine.<span>
Kc = </span>[Cl₂] ·[NO]² / [NOCl].
8.00 = x/2 · x² / 1.
x³/2 = 8.
x = ∛16.
x = 2.52 M.
co(NOCl) = [NOCl] + x.
co(NOCl) = 1.00 M + 2.52 M.
co(NOCl) = 3.52 M; the initial concentration of NOCl.
