+3 I would say, in Fe2O3. O3=-6 Fe=+6 balances to 0

<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.

Answer:

Stoichiometry

Explanation:

You have to use the stoichiometry rules. Remember that concentracion is the same as moles divided by the volume in the system

C = n/V

Also, that amount of moles is equal to mass divided by the molarmass

When aluminium and chlorine compared , which has smaller atomic size ? Why ?

Zielflug [23.3K]

Chlorine has a smaller atomic size.
Explanation: As you move towards right of the periodic table, the atomic size decreases. This is because the number of protons is increasing towards the right of the periodic table, which applies a greater inward force on the electrons. that is why the elements on the right of the periodic table have a smaller atomic size when compared to the elements on the left. Since chlorine is on the right side of aluminium, it has a smaller atomic size.

An atom has 24 protons and 23 electrons and 28 neutrons what charge does this atom have?

alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

the number of protons tells you which element it is in the periodic table, you can notice that there is 1 less electron that then there is protons which means that the element had to give 1 electron away. When you get rid of 1 e- you have 1 proton more that electrons so that's why it's 1+

also the element is Cr
