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
In order to balance this equation you need to count each element and how many of the individual elements are in the equation.
_H2+N2=2 NH3
You multiply the 2 (Which is the coefficient) by the 3 (which is the subscript) This would equal 6 which indicated there are 6 hydrogen atoms on the right side so the left side should also have 6 hydrogen atoms
The missing coefficient on the left side must multiple the 2 to become 6 hydrogen
Answer=3
It has a single valence electron.
3pro & 3ele - it is the single electron in shell 2.
Mass = m = 40 grams
Volume = V = 9 cm³
Density = d = ?
Density is defined as the ratio of mass and volume.
So,
d = m/V
Using the values, we get
d = 40/9 = 4.44 g/cm³
This means the density of material would be 4.44 g/cm³
