Answer:
(II) only correctly rank the bonds in terms of increasing polarity.
Explanation:
Bond polarity is proportional to difference in electronegativity between bonded atoms.
Atoms Electronegativity Bond Electronegativity difference
Cl 3.0 Cl-F 1.0
Br 2.8 Br-Cl 0.2
F 4.0 Cl-Cl 0
H 2.1 H-C 0.4
C 2.5 H-N 0.9
N 3.0 H-O 1.4
O 3.5 Br-F 1.2
I 2.7 I-F 1.3
Si 1.9 Cl-F 1.0
P 2.2 Si-Cl 1.1
Si-P 0.3
Si-C 0.6
Si-F 2.1
So, clearly, order of increasing polarity : O-H > N-H > C-H
So, (II) only correctly rank the bonds in terms of increasing polarity
Answer:
Velocity is the distance traveled during a specific unit of time
Answer : The oxidation state of Mg in Mg(s) is (0).
Explanation :
Oxidation number or oxidation state : It represent the number of electrons lost or gained by the atoms of an element in a compound.
Oxidation numbers are generally written with the sign (+) and (-) first and then the magnitude.
Rules for Oxidation Numbers are :
The oxidation number of a free element is always zero.
The oxidation number of a monatomic ion equals the charge of the ion.
The oxidation number of Hydrogen (H) is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electronegative elements.
The oxidation number of oxygen (O) in compounds is usually -2.
The oxidation number of a Group 17 element in a binary compound is -1.
The sum of the oxidation numbers of all of the atoms in a neutral compound is zero.
The sum of the oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion is equal to the charge of the ion.
The given chemical reaction is:

In the given reaction, the oxidation state of Mg in Mg(s) is (0) because it is a free element and the oxidation state of Mg in
is (+2).
Hence, the oxidation state of Mg in Mg(s) is (0).
K₃PO₄ → 3K⁺ (aq) + PO₄³⁻(aq)
One mole of PO₄³⁻ ion gets dissociated from one mole of K₃PO₄
As per the definition of Avogadro's number, 1 mole = 6.022 x 10²³ ions
One mole of PO₄³⁻ ions x (6.022 x 10²³ ions/ 1 mole of PO₄³⁻ ions )
= 6.022 x 10²³ ions
Therefore , there are 6.022 x 10²³ PO₄³⁻ ions in a mole of K₃PO₄.
