5 0
The atomic number of oxygen is 8. It has 8 electrons in its electron shells. The first electron shell can hold only 2 electrons. Thus, the second shell of the oxygen will contain the rest amount of electrons i.e. 6 electrons.
Answer: The second shell in the ground state of oxygen contains "6" electrons.

Ammonium Iodide dissociates reversibly to ammonia and hydrogen iodide:
NeTakaya

Answer:

The partial pressure of ammonia at equilibrium when a sufficient quantity of ammonium iodide is heated to 400°C Is 0.103 atm.

The correct option is A.

Explanation;

NH4I(s) ⇋ NH3(g) + HI(g)Kp = 0.215 at 400°C

NH4I(s)= 0.215

NH3(g)=0.103

HI(g)Kp=0.112

Therefore = 0.103 +0.112= 0.215

Therefore the partial pressure of ammonia at equilibrium is 0.103 atm

Explain the difference between fixed and variable oxidation
dem82 [27]

Fixed vs Variable Oxidation is given below.

Explanation:

1.In its compounds, hydrogen has an oxidation number of +1, except. hydrides where the. oxidation number of hydrogen is -1. In their compounds, the metals with fixed oxidation states have the oxidation number that. corresponds with the fixed oxidation number.

A variable oxidation state is a value that determines the charge of the atom depending on certain conditions.

2. Ox­i­da­tion state of el­e­ments is con­sid­ered to be of the most im­por­tant in the study of chem­istry. For some el­e­ments, this fig­ure is con­stant known as fixed oxidation , while for oth­ers it is vari­able is called variable oxidation state.

3. MgCl2 :  magnesium is in Group IIA and all elements in Group IIA have fixed oxidation numbers of +2

FeCl2 :  iron has a variable oxidation number of either +2 or +3 and is not fixed
