Paper clips are made of stainless steel. Steel is a mixture. There are different kinds of steel that have slightly different ratios of substances. Stainless steel is made of iron mixed with high-density metals. Carbon steel is made of iron mixed with carbon, an element with a lower density than metals. Would you expect the density of stainless steel and carbon steel to be the same? Why or why not?

Nonmetals usually react by gaining electrons

Answerthe half-reaction having the greatest tendency to occur at the anode:     i₂(aq) + 2e⁻  ⇄ 2i⁻  ;   e = +0.53 v======oxidation occurs at the anode. we must therefore find the half-reaction with the greatest tendency to oxidize.the given values of e are reduction potentials (the form of the half-reactions are of reduction).the lower the reduction potential, the higher the potential to oxidize. the half-cell with the lowest reduction potential will have the greatest tendency to oxidize at the anode.the half-reaction having the greatest tendency must be    i₂(aq) + 2e⁻  ⇄ 2i⁻    e = +0.53 vbecause its reduction potential is the lowest out of the three.
