The step to be completed first while using the half-reaction is balancing the equation. Thus, option B is correct.

The half-reaction is the oxidation or the reduction reaction of the redox reaction. The oxidation is given as the loss of electrons, and reduction is given as the gain of electrons.

<h3>How do you balance a half-reaction?</h3>

The half-reaction in the cell consists of the change in the electrons and the oxidation state of the elements. The oxidation and reduction reactions are balanced by inserting the equation.

The first step in using the half-reaction is the balancing of reaction. Thus, option B is correct.

Due to the small and highly electronegative nature of fluorine, the oxyacids of the this element are much less common and less s
Molodets [167]

Answer:

HOFO = (0, 0, +1, -1)

Explanation:

The formal charge (FC) can be calculated using the following equation:

FC = V - N - \frac{1}{2}B

<u>Where:</u>

V: are the valence electrons

N: are the nonbonding electrons

B: are the bonding electrons

The arrange of the atoms in the oxyacid is:

H - O₁ - F - O₂

Hence, the formal charge (FC) on each of the atoms is:

H: FC = 1 - 0 - 1/2*(2) = 0            

O₁: FC = 6 - 4 - 1/2*(4) = 0        

F: FC = 7 - 4 - 1/2*(4) = +1

O₂: FC =  6 - 6 - 1/2*(2) = -1

We can see that the negative charge is in the oxygen instead of the most electronegative element, which is the F. This oxyacid is atypical.  

I hope it helps you!

What are two ways condensation differs from boiling?
NARA [144]
Condensation is when vapor liquidizes and gathers on top of a surface, while boiling is turning a liquid into a gas or vapor. They are opposites. In the first, the molecules of the substance split and separate and increase the volume, while in the second they come together and reduce the volume.

Vesnalui [34]

Explanation:

The halogen family and noble gases are similar in just one particular way, they are groups of non-metals. All members of these two groups are categorized as non-metals.

Here are some of the differences between them;

  • Halogens have 7 electrons in their outermost shell whereas noble gases have 8 electrons in theirs.
  • Halogens are highly reactive elements, noble gases are non-reactive.
  • Halogens are made up of electronegative elements where as noble gases are neither electropositive nor electronegative.
