Halogens are a group of elements consisting of Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine and Astatine. In their ionic form, they have a superscript of -1, for example, chloride ion is Cl-1. These means that they readily accept one electron in order to achieve the Octet rule. The Octet rule states that each atom must contain 8 electrons in their valence shell for it to be stable. The most stable set of elements are the noble gases. Because they already fulfill the Octet rule, they no longer take part in reactions. Halogens are also very electronegative, meaning, they attract more electrons toward them. This is also a consequence of the Octet rule.
From the choices, the answers would be:
<span>they require only one electron to complete their outer shell
they have a high electronegativity</span>
Answer:
its orginal charge is none then through the reaction it is reduced because then final charge is -1 meaning is went down 1 so its charge was reduced
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
The options are unclear, however, the correct option is:
Aqueous solutions of ionic compounds cause to dissociate, hence, ions are free to conduct electricity
Explanation:
Ionic compounds are compounds formed from ions (charged atoms). For example, NaCl is an ionic compound from the following ions; Na+ (cation) and Cl- (anion). One characteristics of ionic compounds is their ability to dissociate into the ions that form them when in an aqueous solution i.e. NaCl will dissociate into Na+ and Cl- when in an aqueous solution.
These disssociated ions are free to conduct electricity, hence, making ionic compounds good conductors of electricity.
Answer:
d. The gold(III) ion is most easily reduced.
Explanation:
The standard reduction potentials are
Au³⁺ + 3e⁻ ⟶ Au; 1.50 V
Hg²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Hg; 0.85 V
Zn²⁺ + 2e⁻ ⟶ Zn; -0.76 V
Na⁺ + e⁻ ⟶ Na; -2.71 V
A <em>more positive voltage</em> means that there is a <em>stronger driving force</em> for the reaction.
Thus, Au³⁺ is the best acceptor of electrons.
Reduction Is Gain of electrons and, Au³⁺ is gaining electrons, so
Au³⁺ is most easily reduced.
