What type of reaction is shown below?

fe (s) + cu(no3)2 (aq) → fe(no3)2 (aq) + cu (s)

select one:
a. synthesis
b. single displacement
c. double displacement
d. decomposition

The correct answer is :

b. Single displacement reaction

Explanation:

The single displacement reaction is the one in which the more reactive element substitute other element in a compound generating a new chemical compound.

It follows this kind of reactions :

Now look at the reaction given;

Here the more reactive element (Fe) displaces the less reactive element [Cu]from the compound[Cu(NO3)2].

Hence Fe substitute Cu from Cu(NO3)2 and form Fe(NO3)2

It is not a double - displacement reaction . Where the elements interchange themselves to form the compound.

the electronic configuration of an atom with eight electrons is 1s²2s²2p⁴. the orbital diagrams are shown in the figure.

as per the hunds rule:

1. electrons tend to avoid being in the same orbital as per as practicable.

2. electrons in different orbitals of the same energy will have their spin parallel.

this can be illustrated from the multiplicity of the orbitals of the atom. as there are four electrons in the p orbital and p orbital has 3 sub-shells. the electrons can be fed in different ways as shown in the figure but the correct orbital diagram will be as per the hunds rule.

the mass of the cathode increases because ions from the solution get reduced to atoms and become part of the cathode.
