Answer: The oxidation state of iodine atom in the given compound is +5.

Explanation:

Oxidation state is the number that is assigned to an element when it gains or looses electrons. If an element gains electron, it will attain a negative oxidation state and if the element looses electrons, it will attain a positive oxidation state.

For the given chemical compound: $Mg(IO_3)_2$

We take the oxidation state of iodine atom be 'x'

Oxidation state of magnesium atom = +2

Oxidation state of oxygen atom = -2

Evaluating the oxidation state of iodine atom:

$+2+2x+6(-2)=0\\\\x=+5$

Hence, the oxidation state of iodine atom in the given compound is +5.

The oxidation number of iodine is 5 in Mg(IO3)2 which can be calculated as
Mg(IO3)2
MgI2O6
As we know that
Mg has +2
O has -2
So,
(+2) + 2I + 6 (-2)=0
2 + 2I - 12 =0
10+ 2I =0
10 = 2I
I =5

A sample of Ar(g) is contained in a

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Initial temperature of the gas is T.

The volume of the sample is decreased from 4.5 L to 1.5 L while the pressure is held constant.

At constant pressure, the relation between volume and temperature is given by :

$\dfrac{V_1}{T_1}=\dfrac{V_2}{T_2}$

Here, V₁ = 4.5 L, V₂ = 1.5 L, T₁ = T₁, T₂ = ?

So,

$T_2=\dfrac{V_2T_1}{V_1}\\\\T_2=\dfrac{1.5\times T_1}{4.5}\\\\T_2=\dfrac{T_1}{3}$

So, the final temperature of the gas is $\dfrac{T_1}{3}$ . Hence, the correct option is (B).

Describe how elements of different electronegativities can share electrons unequally, leading to the formation of a polar covale

Nesterboy [21]

A polar covalent bond is a covalent bond in
which the atoms have an unequal attraction for
electrons and so the sharing is unequal. ... The
atom with the greater electronegativity acquires
a partial negative charge, while the atom with
the lesser electronegativity acquires a partial
positive charge.
