The oxidation state of a pure element is always zero.

The oxidation state for a pure ion is equivalent to its ionic charge.

What is oxidation state?

The oxidation state or oxidation number, is the hypothetical charge of an atom if all of its bonds to different atoms were fully ionic. The oxidation state may be positive, negative or zero.

What are the rules to write the oxidation number?

1. The atoms in pure elements have oxidation number of ZERO.

2. The more-electronegative element in a binary molecular compound is assigned the number equal to the negative charge it would have as an anion. The less-electronegative element is assigned the number equal to the positive charge it would have as a cation.

3. Fluorine always has an oxidation number of -1 in compounds because it is the most electronegative element.

4. Oxygen is usually -2 unless in peroxides (then it is -1) or with fluorine.

5. Hydrogen has +1 in all compounds containing elements that are more electronegative than it, and is -1 in compounds with metals.

6. The algebraic sum of the oxidation numbers of all atoms in a neutral compound is zero.

7. The algebraic sum of the oxidation numbers of all atoms in a polyatomic ion is equal to the charge of the ion.

8. Although rules 1-7 apply to covalently bonded atoms, oxidation numbers can also be assigned to atoms in ionic compound. Monoatomic ions have oxidation numbers equal to their ionic charge.

5. An element whose highest occupied s sublevel and a nearby d sublevel <br> contain electrons
Mumz [18]

Answer:

                    Transition Element

Explanation:

                     Transition elements are defined as those elements which can form at least one stable ion and has partially filled d-orbitals. They are also characterized by forming complex compounds and having different oxidation states for a single metal element.

                      Transition metals are present between the metals and the non metals in the periodic table occupying groups from 3 to 12. There general electronic configuration is as follow,

                                                   (n-1)d ¹⁻¹⁰ns ¹⁻²

The general configuration shows that for a given metal, the d sublevel will be in lower energy level as compared to corresponding s sublevel. For example,

Scandium is present in fourth period hence, its s sublevel is present in 4rth energy level so its d sublevel will be present in 3rd energy level respectively.

Hence, we can conclude that for transition metals the electron are present in highest occupied s sublevel and a nearby d sublevel .

A sample of basalt has smaller crystals than a sample of granite. What is the most likely reason for this?
posledela
The most likely reason is that basalt is an extrusive rock, while granite is an intrusive rock. What this means is that basalt forms at the surface of the earth, where temperatures are cooler. Because of the cooler external temperature, basalt cools relatively quickly, and there isn't as much time for mineral crystals within the rock to align to form larger crystals while the rock is cooling. Granite, on the other hand, forms below the surface of the earth, where temperatures are significantly higher. Therefore, it doesn't cool as quickly, and the minerals within granite have more time to form larger crystals and the rock cools.
