<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
B. It involves loss of electrons.
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- Oxidation occurs when electrons are lost by an atom while reduction refers to the gain of electrons by an atom.
- <u><em>In this case, magnesium atom reacts with sulfur to form magnesium sulfide by loosing two electrons and forming magnesium ion (Mg2+). Therefore magnesium undergoes oxidation.</em></u>
- Sulfur, on the other hand will gain electrons to form Sulfide ions, therefore it undergoes reduction.
- Therefore;<em><u> In magnesium sulfide (MgS), magnesium loses two electrons and becomes a cation with a positive-two charge. Likewise, sulfur obtains the two electrons lost from magnesium and becomes an anion with a negative-two charge. However, the overall charge of MgS is zero.</u></em>
Answer:
1-butanol has higher boiling point mainly due to presence of hydrogen bonding.
Explanation:
Diethyl ether is a polar aprotic molecule due to presence of polar C-O-C moiety. Hence only dipole-dipole intermolecular force exist between diethyl ether molecules.
1-butanol is a polar protic molecule due to presence of C-OH moiety. Therefore dipole-dipole force along with hydrogen bonding exist between 1-butanol molecules.
So, intermolecular force is higher in 1-butanol as compared to diethyl ether. Hence more temperature is required to break intermolecular forces of 1-butanol to boil as compared to diethyl ether.
So, 1-butanol has higher boiling point mainly due to presence of hydrogen bonding.
Alfred Wegener came up with the idea
The valence electron configuration for antimony (Sb) is:
Sb = 5s²5p³5d⁰
In SbCl₅²⁻, antimony has a -2 charge i.e. it has 2 additional electrons
Sb²⁻ = 5s²5p⁵5d⁰
Following a two electron transition from p→d orbital we have:
Sb²⁻ = 5s²5p³5d²
There is a total of 5 unpaired electrons (3 in the p and 2 in the d) which can form five bonds with the 5 Cl atoms.
Thus the hybridisation of Sb in SbCl₅²⁻ is sp³d²
The answer is; A
During a hot day, the land heats up faster than the waters. The air on land becomes warm and less dense fast and begin to rise in the atmosphere. The air on the ocean with is still cooler and denser moves in to replace the rising on land air. This causes a sea breeze. The sea breeze carries with it, moisture. The hotter the day the higher the humidity. When the air goes inland, it causes precipitation when it rises, cool, and condenses.
