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

How many “p” orbital in principal energy level below?

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Each principal energy level above the first contains one s orbital and three p orbitals. A set of three p orbitals, called the p sublevel, can hold a maximum of six electrons. Therefore, the second level can contain a maximum of eight electrons - that is, two in the s orbital and 6 in the three p orbitals.

Write the chemical equation for the dissolution reaction of solid iron(iii) hydroxide in water. include the phases of all specie

Allushta [10]

When solid iron (iii) hydroxide is dissolved into water, it ionizes or it dissociates into ions. These ions are the iron (iii) ions and the hydroxide ions. Iron(III) oxide is classified as a base when in aqueous solution since it produces hydroxide ions. It is a weak base so it does not completely dissociate into the solution. The dissociation equation would be:

Fe(OH)3 <-----> Fe3+ + OH-

To write a complete reaction, the reaction should be balanced wherein the number of atoms of each element in the reactant side and the product side should be equal. Also, the phases of the substances should be written. We do as follows:


Fe(OH)3 (s) <-----> Fe3+ (aq) + 3OH- (aq)
