Does the value of the charges affect whether a molecule is closer to the double lines or not? Like for Cr 2+ and Cr 3+?

Hello, from my understanding, the value does not affect its closeness. The things that will be affected are temperature, concentration, and volume. Hope this helps.

Not exactly, the orientation is usually based on the reactant of the half-reaction being farther left and the product of the half-reaction being farther right on either side of the salt bridge represented by the double line. Sometimes this is changed (like in the case of Cl2 in a couple questions in the textbook). I usually try to ensure oxidation is on the left and reduction on the right of the salt bridge, then I figure out which of the listen molecules is being reduced/oxidized and which is the product of this half-reaction. If the cathode/anode is constructed of a different metal than the reactants and products in the reaction, it is represented on the farthest outside of the cell diagram.
