Where, approximately, is the negative pole on each of these molecules?
2 answers:
Orbital shell notation of fluorine is 2. 7 while that of oxygen s 2. 6. This means that these elements (that follow each other in the periodic table) will have high electronegativity in molecules due to their high atomic number (which causes them to strongly attract electron orbital shell closer to their nucleus). NB: Atomic number of a peroid increased from left to right of the periodic table.
Therefore, in the first molecule, the negative dipole would most likely be located between the F atoms In the second molecule the negative molecule would be most likely located in the between the O and F atoms.

First identify which is being oxidized and reduced. In this case, the Mg is being oxidized and the Hg is being reduced.

It isn't necessary to keep the electrons but its essential to know how many there are in order to know how many are in the equation in order to calculate the reaction energy. Note: A<span>dd H+ and H2O to balance the H's and O's in acidic solution if needed.</span>
