Answer:

Atoms form chemical bonds to make their outer electron shells more stable. An ionic bond, where one atom essentially donates an electron to another, forms when one atom becomes stable by losing its outer electrons and the other atoms become stable (usually by filling its valence shell) by gaining the electrons.

Balance the following oxidation-reduction reactions, which take place in acidic solution, by using the "half-reaction" method.

LuckyWell [14K]

First identify which is being oxidized and reduced. In this case, the Mg is being oxidized and the Hg is being reduced.

Mg --> Mg+2

Hg+2 --> Hg+1

Then you have to balance each half reaction first with electrons before adding them together in one equation

$Mg$ ⇒ $Mg^{+2} + 2e^{-1}$

and

$2Hg^{+2} + 2e^{-1}$ ⇒ $Hg_{2} ^{+2}$

and then combine them together to form

$Mg + 2 Hg^{+2} + 2e$ ⇒ $Mg^{+2} + 2e ^{-} + 2 Hg^{+1} + 2 e^{-}$

It isn't necessary to keep the electrons but its essential to know how many there are in order to know how many are in the equation in order to calculate the reaction energy. Note: Add H+ and H2O to balance the H's and O's in acidic solution if needed.

An ionic compound has the general form, xcly. which option for x and y correctly completes the formula?

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:
Case 1:
  X =  Any element from Group I

i)   H
ii)   Li
iii) Na
   iv) K
v)   Rb
vi)  Cs

  Y =  1

Case 2:
  X = Any element from Group II

i) Be
ii) Mg
iii) Ca
iv) Sr
v) Ba
vi) Ra

  Y = 2

Case 3:
  X =  Any element from Group III

i)   B
ii)   Al
iii) Ga
   iv) In
v)   Ti

  Y =  3

Explanation:
The general formula given is as follow,

XCly

So, if X has +1 oxidation state, then it will require only one Cl atom with oxidation number -1 to form a neutral compound, therefore, y = 1.

If X has +2 oxidation state, then it will require two Cl atoms with oxidation number -1 to form a neutral compound, therefore, y = 2.

If X has +3 oxidation state, then it will require three Cl atoms with oxidation number -1 to form a neutral compound, therefore, y = 3.
