Answer is: the oxidation number of oxygen must decrease.

Oxidizing agent is element (substance) that gain electrons in chemical reaction.

For example, balanced chemical reaction: C + O₂ → CO₂.

Oxygen change oxidation number from 0 to oxidation number -2 (reduction) and carbon change from 0 to +4 (oxidation)

Nuetrik [128]
No. Of protons = mass no. - no. Of neutrons
No. Of protons = 67 - 37
= 30
No. Of electrons = 28

Zinc will have 30 protons and 28 electrons. So, it will have +2 charge

All compounds of carbon are made by _____.
Andrew [12]

Answer:

Covalent bonding

Explanation:

Covalent bonding is the bond that holds all compound that are formed by carbon.

It is a very strong intermolecular bond that holds the structure of carbon compounds in place.

Principally, covalent compounds are formed by sharing of electrons between contributing atoms.

Covalent bonds are the strongest bond types. A reason for this conclusion can be see in case of diamond. Here, there is a covalent linkage between the atoms present and the strength of these bonds is responsible for how strong the diamond crystal is

11. In TLC analysis of ferrocene and acetylferrocene (on silica TLC plate) which prediction is correct: A) ferrocene is more pol
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Alternative C would be the correct choice.

Explanation:

  • The dual compounds were evaluated on something like a TLC plate through three separate additives in conducting a TLC study of ferrocene versus acetylferrocene.
  • The polar as well as nonpolar ferrocene where nonpolar is about 0.63 with the maximum R_f value, and indeed the polar is somewhere around 0.19 with R_f.
  • TLC plate (30:1 toluene/ethanol) established with.  

The other three choices are not related to the given circumstances. So that option C would be the appropriate choice.
