It is clear that the core is subject to change
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
Answer:
– 1
Explanation:
From the question given above, we obtained the following:
Electron = 8
Net charge of nitrogen =.?
Nitrogen has atomic number of 7. This also means that nitrogen has 7 proton because atomic number of an element is the equal to number of protons in the atom of the element.
Thus, we can obtain the net charge of nitrogen with 8 electrons by calculating the difference between the protons and electrons of the nitrogen atom. This can be obtained as follow:
Proton = 7
Electron = 8
Net charge = Proton – Electron
Net charge = 7 – 8
Net charge = – 1
Therefore, the net charge of the nitrogen atom with 8 electrons is – 1
Atomic Number is used to organize the periodic table.
Hope this helps
