Answer;
             Silver is acting as oxidizing Agent.

Explanation:

The reaction is as follow,

<span>                              Fe + 3 AgNo</span>₃    →     Fe(NO₃)₃<span> + 3 Ag

In above reaction the Iron's oxidation state has changed from 0 to +3, i.e. 

                             Fe</span>⁰      →     Fe³⁺  +  3 e⁻

It shows that Iron has lost 3 electrons, Hence, it is oxidized and has transferred 3 electrons to 3 mole of Ag⁺ to reduce it into Ag. Therefore, Iron is acting as reducing Agent.

While, In reaction the Silver's oxidation state has changed from +1 to 0, i.e. 

                             3 Ag⁺  +  3 e⁻     →     3 Ag

It shows that Silver has gained one electron, Hence, it is reduced and has gained 3 electrons from 1 mole of Fe to oxidize it into Fe³⁺. Therefore, Silver is acting as oxidizing Agent.

The particles that make up a rock are constantly in motion. However a rock does not visibly vibrate. Why not?
nadya68 [22]
Well, these particles happens to be small, like REALLY small. So microscopically small they aren't picked up or observed my the naked eye. also the vibrations are in an atomic scale which is also VERY tiny This goes for all solids too.

What are valence electrons and how do they affect the properties of an atom?
vlada-n [284]

The term "valence electrons" refers to all of the electrons in an atom's outermost shell.

The centre of the atom is where the nucleus is. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons. The electrons travel in a specific circular direction and at a specific distance from the nucleus.

The atom's final shell's electrons take part in chemical reactions and the production of bonds. Both ionic and covalent bonding involve valence electrons. Metals are elements with one, two, or three electrons in their final shell.

These substances become positive ions after losing their electrons. Non-metals are substances with 5, 6, or 7 electrons in the outermost shell. These substances all gain electrons and change into negative ions.

Ionic bonds are those created by the transfer of electrons between metals and non-metals. For instance, ionic bonding allows sodium and chlorine to interact to generate sodium chloride.

To explain the photoelectric effect, Albert Einstein linked the photoelectric effect to an idea from which scientist?
blondinia [14]
Based upon Max Planck's theory of black-body radiation, Einstein theorized that the energy in each quantum of light was equal to the frequency multiplied by a constant, later called Planck's constant. A photon above a threshold frequency has the required energy to eject a single electron, creating the observed effect.
