Answer : The correct option is, $H_3O^+$

Explanation:

The chemical formula of hydronium ion is, $H_3O^+$

It is formed by the protonation of water that means it is formed by the combination of $H^+$ ion with the water molecule. The hydronium ion is the positively charged molecule.

It is the simplest form of oxonium ion.

Or we can say that the hydronium ion is produced when an Arrhenius acid dissolves in water.

The reaction will be,

$H_2O+H^+\rightarrow H_3O^+$

Hence, the correct option is, $H_3O^+$

The answer is (1) H3O+. OH- is called hydroxyl. HN4+ is called ammonium. HCO3- is called bicarbonate. Hydronium ion is the combination of H+ ion(hydrogen ion) and H2O(water molecule).

Explain how chemical change differs from a physical change

Grace [21]

A chemical change affects on the molecular level of matter, which makes it irreversible. Combustion is a pretty good exmple. Physical changes are reversible and dont alter the formula. Hope this helped!

Answer:

Cl2(g) (green/yellow mix) + 2KBr(s) (white) ---> 2KCl(s) (violet) + Br2(g) (reddish brown)

This chemical reaction is a redox type.

Explanation:

Look at the oxidation state, when the number increase your element gets oxidated, when the number decrease, the elements it's getting reduced.

Which element has the ground state electron configuration 1s22s22p63s23p3?

Natalka [10]

Its phosphorus (P)In writing the electron configuration for Phosphorus the first two electrons will go in the 1s orbital. Since 1s can only hold two electrons the next 2 electrons for Phosphorous go in the 2s orbital. The next six electrons will go in the 2p orbital. The p orbital can hold up to six electrons. We'll put six in the 2p orbital and then put the next two electrons in the 3s. Since the 3s if now full we'll move to the 3p where we'll place the remaining three electrons. Therefore the Phosphorus electron configuration will be 1s22s22p63s23p3.

Which element has higher ionization energy? chlorine or carbon

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

chlorine has higher ionization than carbon

Explanation:

Chlorine is only one row below carbon, but it is three columns to the right in this case the IP of chlorine would be predicted to be greater than the IP of carbon.
