If solid nickel metal were mixed with cobalt ion, what would you expect to see happen?
A. solid cobalt would form
B. nickel ions would form
C. cobalt would be oxidized
D. nothing

the positions which points up in upward carbon and down in downward carbon are axial

and vice versa holds true for equatorial positions

so the correct answer with labelled diagram will be

the enthalpy of formation of water is given as -285.8kj/mol, which states that the enthalpy of formation is negative.

negative enthalpy of formation indicates that the heat is released during the reaction process. the heat is released from reaction to the surroundings the enthalpy is expressed with a negative sign with the energy given out in the reaction process.

the formation of water takes place by giving out heat which is -285.8 kj/mol.

it forms an anion that has a larger radius. anions have a negative charge and are larger than the original atom.
