How many electrons will each element gain or lose in forming an ion?

Amanda [17]

It depends on the number of valence electrons required to make octet or duplet( in case of H). For example, Nitrogen(atomic number = 7) has electronic configuration(2,5) which means nitrogen has 5 valence electrons and requires 3 more electrons to complete its octet. After gaining 3 electrons from atoms of an element with less electronegativity than N, it forms nitride ion ( $N ^{-3}$ ). Hope this helps.

What is the final, balanced equation that is formed by combining these two half reactions?

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer: Balanced equation that is formed by combining these two half reactions is $Cu + NO^{-}_{3} + 2H^{+} \rightarrow Cu^{2+} + NO^{-}_{2} + H_{2}O$ .

Explanation:

A chemical equation which contains same number of atoms on both reactant and product side is called a balanced chemical equation.

For example, $Cu \rightarrow Cu^{2+} + 2e^{-}$

$NO^{-}_{3} + 2e^{-} + 2H^{+} \rightarrow NO^{-}_{2} + H_{2}O$

On cancelling the common species from both these half-reactions, the complete balanced equation will be as follows.

$Cu + NO^{-}_{3} + 2H^{+} \rightarrow Cu^{2+} + NO^{-}_{2} + H_{2}O$

Thus, we can conclude that balanced equation that is formed by combining these two half reactions is $Cu + NO^{-}_{3} + 2H^{+} \rightarrow Cu^{2+} + NO^{-}_{2} + H_{2}O$ .
