The equation given in question is as follow,

                                  ZnS + NO₃⁻    →    Zn²⁺ + S + NO

Oxidation state of elements in reactant side are as follow,
                                      Zn  =  +2
                                      S    =  -2
                                      N    =  +5
                                      O   =  -2
Oxidation state of elements in product side are as follow,
                                      Zn  =  +2
                                      S    =  0
                                      N    =  +2
                                      O   =  -2
So, In this reaction Nitrogen is Reduced while Sulfur is Oxidized.

Now Split the reaction into two half cell reactions,

Reduction Reaction,
                                ZnS     →     S  +  2e⁻
Oxidation Reaction,
                               NO₃⁻  +  3e⁻   →     NO

As the oxygen atoms are not balance, So, in acidic medium add H⁺ on the side having greater number of Oxygen atom and H₂O on the side having less number of Oxygen atoms,
Hence,
                                 H⁺  +   NO₃⁻  + 3e⁻    →     NO  +  H₂O
Now Balance the reaction,

                                 4H⁺  +   NO₃⁻  + 3e⁻    →     NO  +  2H₂O

So, write both half cell equations as,
 
                                             ZnS     →     S  +  2e⁻   --------- (1)
                               4H⁺  +   NO₃⁻  + 3e⁻    →     NO  +  2H₂O  -------(2)

Multiply eq. 1 with 3 and eq. 2 with 2 to equalize the electron.
So,
                                         3ZnS     →     3S  +  6e⁻   

                       8H⁺  +   2NO₃⁻  + 6e⁻    →     2NO  +  4H₂O 
                     _____________________________________(e⁻ cancelled)

                            3ZnS + 2NO₃⁻ + 8H⁺   → 3Zn + 3S + 2NO + 4H₂O

Dimitri Mendeleev was the first to put elements together on a table. He knew there were elements missing but he noticed a trend in some of the elements known at the time. Sodium, Lithium and other alkali metals all have the same properties so he put them under the same column and created other columns with similar attributes (Halogens, Noble gases, Alkaline earth metals). Over the years, new elements were discovered and put into the rough outline that Mendeleev created.

I hope that is about what you wanted.

How does the position of the Sun, moons, planets and stars affect a person's personality traits and daily behavior patterns

Explanation:

The question that cannot be answered scientifically from the given choices is "how does the position of the Sun, moons, planets and stars affect a person's personality traits and daily behavior patterns".

This problem is off the jurisdiction of natural science.

  • Scientific questions are usually empirical in nature and draws relationship between two variables.
  • Usually, one variable changes and the other is affected.
  • This problem stated is subjective and not scientific.
  • Humans have a wide range of personality traits.
  • This problem can be solved using a psychological analysis.

How many electrons would Boron with a +2 charge have?
irina [24]

5 electrons

Boron atomic number 5 has five electrons in its ground state.

Commonly Boron will lose 3 electrons leaving 2 electrons in its most common ionic form.

Explanation:

The atomic number gives the number of protons. Protons which have a positive charge are balanced by an equal number of electrons in a neutral atom.

Boron number 5 has five protons and therefore as a neutral atom also has five electrons.

Boron has an electron configuration of

1s22s22p1

The most stable electron configuration for Boron is

1s2

+ 3 charges. By losing three electrons Boron can achieve the stable electron structure of Helium
