Naturally occurring, inorganic, crystalline structure is a mineral
The oxidation number of H is -1.
Sum of the oxidation numbers in each element =
charge of the complex
CaH₂ has 1 Ca atom and 2H atoms. The charge of
the complex is zero. Let’s say Oxidation number of H is "a".
Then,
<span> (+2)
+ 2 x a = 0 </span>
<span> +2 + 2a = 0</span>
2a = -2
a = -1
Hence, the oxidation number of Hydrogen atom in CaH₂ is -1
The valence electrons are the parts of an atom that make interactions and make chemical bonds.
Every atom is made of three different components, a positively charged proton, neutrally charged neutron and negatively charged electron. The protons and the neutrons make up the atom's core and the electrons orbit around that core.
The electrons that orbit around the atom's core in its outer-most orbit (the one that is the furthest from the atom's core) can interact with electrons of other atoms, forming different kinds of chemical bonds.
If there is an exchange of the electrons (one atom donates its electrons to another atom), that results in forming of ions, then those two atoms can be linked in an ionic bond.
If an electron is shared between two atoms, then that bond is called a covalent bond.
Answer:
H. 2 blue, 3 yellow, and 12 green
Explanation:
Aluminium atoms (Al) = Blue Beads
Oxygen Atoms (O) = Green Beads
Sulfur (S) = Yellow beads
From the compound Al2(SO4)3, the number of atoms present are;
Al = 2
S = 3
O = 12
This means the model would contain;
2 Blue beads
12 Green beads
3 Yellow beads
The correct option is; H. 2 blue, 3 yellow, and 12 green
