When electrolyzing copper (ll) chloride, what reaction takes place at the anode? what reaction takes place at the cathode?

Two metal blocks that have slightly different temperatures are placed next to one another. after five minutes, they both have lower but equal temperatures. according to the law of conservation of energy, what  most likelyhappened? energy was created inside the blocks.energy was destroyed inside the blocks.energy was absorbed into the blocks from outside the system.energy was transferred from the warmer block to the cooler block.

As we move from left to right across the periodic table, what is the general trend? a) atomic radii increase. b) electronegavitiy decreases. c) nuclear shielding increases. d) metallic character decreases.
