What does mean when it asks for the smaller ion

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ipatiy [6.2K]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

mg2+ would be the smaller ion this is because each ion has the same number of electrons however mg2+ has a greater number of protons and therefore is more charge dense and the outer electrons feel a greater pull from the nucleus.

I hope it's helpful!!

Write a balanced equation from each cell notation:(b) Fe(s) | Fe²⁺(aq) | NO₃⁻(aq) | NO(g) | Pt(s)
tatiyna

The balanced redox reaction is

3Fe + 2NO₃⁻+ 8H+ → 3Fe²⁺ + 2NO + 4H2O

<h3>What is Galvanic cell? </h3>

It is a device that is used for the conversion of the chemical energy which is produce in the redox reaction into the electrical energy. It is also termed as the voltaic cell or electrochemical cell.

In the voltaic cell, at anode which is negative electrode of voltaic cell oxidation occurs and at the cathode which is positive electrode, reduction occurs

<h3>What is redox reaction? </h3>

The reaction in which both reduction and oxidation reaction takes place simultaneously is known as redox reaction.

<h3>What is oxidation reaction? </h3>

The reaction in which a substance or compound or species looses its electrons. In this reaction, oxidation state of an element increases.

<h3>What is reduction reaction? </h3>

The reaction in which a substance or compound or species accept the electrons. In this reaction, oxidation state of an element decreases.

The given two-half reactions are:

At anode:

3Fe → 3Fe²⁺ + 6e-

At cathode:

8H(+) + 2NO₃⁻ → 2NO + 4H2O

Redox reaction:

3Fe + 2NO₃⁻+ 8H+ → 3Fe²⁺ + 2NO + 4H2O

According to the voltaic cell, the half-cell reaction (1) shows oxidation reaction therefore, it occurs at anode and the half-cell reaction (2) shows reduction reaction therefore, it occurs at cathode.

Thus, we concluded that the redox reaction is

3Fe + 2NO₃⁻+ 8H+ → 3Fe²⁺ + 2NO + 4H2O

Which metal atoms can form ionic bonds by losing electrons from both the outermost and next to outermost principal energy levels
RoseWind [281]

Full question options;

(Fe, Pb, Mg, or Ca)

Answer:

Iron - Fe

Explanation:

We understand tht metals pretty much form bonds by losing their valence (outermost electrons). But this question specifically asks for metals that lose beyond their outermost electrons; next to outermost principal energy levels.

Pb, Mg, and Ca only lose their outermost electrons to form the following ions;

Pb2+, Mg2+, and Ca2+.

This is because their ions have achieved a stable octet configuration - the dreamland of atoms where they are satisfied and don't need to go into reactions again.

Iron on the other hand has the following electronic configurations;

Fe:  [Ar]4s2 3d6

Fe2+:  [Ar]4s0 3d6

Fe3+:  [Ar]4s0 3d5

This means ion can lose both the ooutermost electrons (4s) and next to outermost principal energy levels (3d). So correct option is Iron.
