The oxidation state, sometimes referred to as oxidation number, describes the degree of oxidation of an atom in a chemical compound.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The oxidation number of an atom is the charge that atom would have if the compound was composed of ions. 1. The oxidation number of an atom is zero in a neutral substance that contains atoms of only one element. The oxidation number of simple ions is equal to the charge on the ion.
The oxidation number of a mono atomic ion equals the charge of the ion. The oxidation number of H is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electro negative elements. The oxidation number of O in compounds is usually -2, but it is -1 in peroxides. The oxidation number of a Group 1 element in a compound is +1.
Lewis Structure is drawn in following steps,
1) Calculate Number of Valence Electrons: # of Valence electrons in Mg = 2
# of Valence electrons in I = 7
# of Valence electrons in I = 7
---------
Total Valence electrons = 16
2) Draw Mg as a central atom surround it by two atoms of Iodine.3) Connect each Iodine atom to Mg, and subtract two electrons per bond. In this case we will subtract 4 electrons from total valence electrons. i.e.
Total Valence electrons 16
- Four electrons - 4
----------
12
4) Now start adding the remaining 12 electrons on more electronegative atoms i.e. Iodine.
The final lewis structure formed is as follow,
Answer:
I think it A good luck this thing is making me write 20 letters so I can give you the answer byeee
An element with 8 valence electrons is Neon (Ne).
Ps: Any element under group 18 has 8 valence electrons except for Helium (He).
MgCl₂ & PbSO₄ is the correct product for the given double replacement reaction.
<h3>What is double displacement reaction?</h3>
In the double displacement reaction displacement of two substrate will take place among two reactants and formation of products takes place.
In the question, PbCl₂ reacts with MgSO₄ and displacement between the cations takes place and formation of MgCl₂ and insoluble precipitate PbSO₄ is formed.
Given reaction is represented as:
PbCl₂ + MgSO₄ → MgCl₂ + PbSO₄
According to the activity series, reactivity of Magnesium is more as compared to the lead atom. So lead is displaced by the magnesium atom and form the above given products.
Hence, option (3) is correct i.e. MgCl₂ & PbSO₄.
