After finding the oxidation states of atoms, you identify the half reactions (option c).
The half reactions are given by the change of the oxidation states of the atoms.
For example if Cu is in the left side with oxidation state 0 and in the other side with oxidation state 2+, then there you have a half reaction (oxidation reaction). And if you have O with oxidation state 0 in the left side and with oxidation state 2- in the right side, there you have other half reaction (reducing reaction).
The statement which is true is
metals lose electrons to become cations
<u><em>Explanation</em></u>
- metals tends to loss electrons to attain noble gas electrons configuration.
- When metal loses electrons they form a positive charged ions.
- The positively charged ion is known as cations.
- for example sodium metal (Na) loses 1 electron to form a cation with a charge of positive 1 ( Na^+)
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.
Answer:
They do have a larger chance, but others might be infected too.
