Answer: See below
Explanation: a. The mass of an element is composed of:
protons: 1 amu each
neutrons: 1 amu each
electrons: 0 amu each
Only the protons and neutrons are counted in the atomic mass of an element
b. Electrons are assigned a mass of 0. They do have a mass, but it is exceedingly small compared to the protons and neutrons, so they are left out of the calculation of an element's mass.
c. An element becomes unstable if the neutrons exceed the protons by a certain ratio, dependent on the element.
Answer:
C
Explanation:
b/c when copper and zinc metal are addedto solution,then the solution will be consider under redox reaction
Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) -> Cu(s) + FeSO4(aq) is the answer if you get it in advance...
The correct options are as follows:
1. In the chemical equation given above, Fe3+ IS REDUCED.
A reduction is a process in which an atom of an element gains an electron and therefore become reduced. In this type of reaction, the positive character of the atom is reduced. Looking at the equation given above, you will notice that, the positive character of Iron is reduced form +3 to +2.
2. In the reaction given above, the chlorine atom is OXIDIZED.
An oxidation is a process in which an atom loses an electron, thereby increasing its oxidation number. In this case, the positive character of the atom is increased. Looking at the chlorine atom given above, you will notice that it has a charge of -1 before and now it has change to neutral, which means that, it has given out the electron it gains earlier.
3. This type of redox reaction can not take place. This is because, in chemical reaction, the chlorine atom is always looking for another element that will donate an electron to it in order to become stable. Thus, chlorine atom easily gain electrons but it can not donate an electron to another element.<span />
