Hydrogen is usually –1. This is INCORRECT. The oxidation number for H is +1.
Oxygen is usually –2. This is CORRECT.
A pure group 1 element is +1. This is INCORRECT. It does not follow. This will depend on the other elements and the overall charge.
A monatomic ion is 0. This is INCORRECT. Diatomic ion is 0.
So, the answer to 27.) would be <em>2x.</em> Both 6x and 2x can be divided by 2x, but they can't go any higher without the end-answer becoming a fraction. As such, 2x is the greatest common factor.
For 28.), x and x^2 can't be like terms, since like terms have the same variable and exponent :)
Hope I could help!
The energy transforms from chemical energy to heat and light energy. Because when the candle burns a chemical reaction occurs, and produces heat and light.
