Write the equation for the reaction described: A solid metal oxide, , and hydrogen are the products of the reaction between metal and steam. (Use the lowest possible coefficients. Use the pull-down boxes to specify states such as (aq) or (s). If a box is not needed, leave it blank.)

Pb + 2H2O --> PbO2 + 2H2

Explanation:

Products:

Solid metal; PbO2

Hydrogen; H

Reactants:

Metal; Pb

Steam; H2O

Reactants --> Products

Pb + H2O --> PbO2 + H2

Upon balancing we have;

Pb + 2H2O --> PbO2 + 2H2

"among the transition metal elements, manganese and zinc have a slight lowering of electronegativities. the reason behind this is that the nuclear charges of these elements are slightly weaker than the other transition metal elements due to the way their valence electrons are filled up. both manganese and zinc have their valence electrons filled up to the 4th shell with 1 pair of electrons (4s2) completely occupying it. although the electrons in the 3rd shell (3d) are yet to be paired since the outer most shell is filled up, the ability of the nucleus to attract electrons is lessened. hence,   the electronegativity (or the ability to attract electrons) is lessened."

i think so it’s will be b yes i believe its
