<h3>Answer:</h3>

Oxidation number refers to a number given to an atom which shows the number of number of electrons lost (or gained, if the number is negative), by an atom of that element in the compound.

Hence oxidation number of following atoms in given reaction are:

In NaOH:

Na = +1

O = -2

H = +1

In H2:

H = 0

Answer : The oxidation number of Na, O and H in NaOH are, (+1), (-2) and (+1) respectively.

The oxidation number of H in H_2  is zero.

Explanation :

Oxidation number : It represent the number of electrons lost or gained by the atoms of an element in a compound.

Oxidation numbers are generally written with the sign (+) and (-) first and then the magnitude.

When the atoms are present in their elemental state then the oxidation number will be zero.

Rules for Oxidation Numbers :

The oxidation number of a free element is always zero.

The oxidation number of a monatomic ion equals the charge of the ion.

The oxidation number of Hydrogen (H) is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electronegative elements.

The oxidation number of oxygen (O) in compounds is usually -2, but it is -1 in peroxides.

The oxidation number of a Group 1 element in a compound is +1.

The oxidation number of a Group 2 element in a compound is +2.

The oxidation number of a Group 17 element in a binary compound is -1.

The sum of the oxidation numbers of all of the atoms in a neutral compound is zero.

The sum of the oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion is equal to the charge of the ion.

The given chemical reaction is:

2Na(s)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow 2NaOH(aq)+H_2(g)

Now we have to determine the oxidation number of each atom in the products.

The given product is, NaOH

'Na' belongs to group 1 thus, the oxidation number is (+1)

The oxidation number of oxygen generally in all compound is (-2)

The oxidation number of hydrogen generally in all compound is (+1)

And as we know that, the sum of the oxidation numbers of all of the atoms in a neutral compound is zero.

(+1)+(-2)+(+1)=0

Thus, the oxidation number of Na, O and H in NaOH are, (+1), (-2) and (+1) respectively.

The given product is, H_2

The oxidation number of hydrogen generally in all compound is (+1).

As we know that the oxidation number of atoms of elements at their standard states is always zero.

Thus, the oxidation number of H in H_2  is zero.

What would be the major product obtained from hydroboration–oxidation of the following alkenes?
zmey [24]

Answer:

a. 3-methylbutan-2-ol

b. 2-methylcyclohexan-1-ol

Explanation:

For this reaction, we must remember that the hydroboration is an <u>"anti-Markovnikov" reaction</u>. This means that the "OH" will be added at the <em>least substituted carbon of the double bond.</em>

In the case of <u>2-methyl-2-butene</u>, the double bond is between carbons 2 and 3. Carbon 2 has two bonds with two methyls and carbon 3 is attached to 1 carbon. Therefore <u>the "OH" will be added to carbon three</u> producing <u>3-methylbutan-2-ol</u>.

For 1-methylcyclohexene, the double bond is between carbons 1 and 2. Carbon 1 is attached to two carbons (carbons 6 and 7) and carbon 2 is attached to one carbon (carbon 3). Therefore<u> the "OH" will be added to carbon 2</u> producing <u>2-methylcyclohexan-1-ol</u>.

See figure 1

What factors does the climate include?
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

A. amount of precipitation, average temperature

Explanation:

Precipitation and average temperature are factors that climate includes. These factors are determined by other factors such as location of an area(like how far a place is from large bodies of water like the sea), ocean currents, lattitude (distance from the equator), winds (prevailing winds) , topography (such as mountains) and the like.

Which is the correct Lewis structure for carbon monoxide?
LuckyWell [14K]
<span>The Lewis structure for CO has 10 valence electrons. For the CO Lewis structure you'll need a triple bond between the Carbon and Oxygen atoms in order to satisfy the octets of each atom while still using the 10 valence electrons available for the CO molecule.</span>
