<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Oxidation state is the number which is assigned to an element when it gains or looses electrons. If the element gains electron, it will attain a negative oxidation state and if the element looses electrons, it will attain a positive oxidation state.

We take the oxidation state of iron atom be 'x'.

Oxidation state of oxygen atom = -2

Evaluating the oxidation state of iron atom in $Fe_2O_3$ :

$2x+3(-2)=0\\\\x=+3$

Hence, the correct answer is Option C.

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

The frequency of each allele will be prononced and more evident in each offspring

Explanation:

Darwin's theory brings into play natural selection such that offsprings inherit traits that make them adapt better to their environment. Thus, with each generation moving on, will inherit greater and pronounced trait due to increased allele expression

How are atoms connected to Electricity

qwelly [4]

The protons and electrons of an atom are attracted to each other. They both carry an electrical charge. Protons have a positive charge (+) and electrons have a negative charge (-). The positive charge of the protons is equal to the negative charge of the electrons.

Identify the single displacement reaction. 2H 2 + O 2 ⟶ 2H 2O Al 2S 3 ⟶ 2Al + 3S Cl 2 + 2KBr ⟶ 2KCl + Br 2 C 4H 12 + 7O 2 ⟶ 6H 2

Answer: $Cl_2+2KBr\rightarrow 2KCl+Br_2$

Explanation:

A single displacement reaction is one in which a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its salt solution. Thus one element should be different from another element.

$Cl_2+2KBr\rightarrow 2KCl+Br_2$

Synthesis reaction is defined as the reaction where substances combine in their elemental state to form a single compound. $2H_2+O_2\rightarrow 2H_2O$

Decomposition reaction is defined as the reaction where a single substance breaks down into two or more simpler substances.

$Al_2S_3\rightarrow 2Al+3S$

Combustion is a type of chemical reaction in which hydrocarbons burn in the presence of oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water along with heat.
