How many electrons are transferred during the formation of one molecule of al2o3?

Chemistry
1 answer:
lukranit [14]3 years ago
4 0
Answer:
            Six electrons are transferred in the formation of Al₂O₃.

Explanation:
                   Aluminium metal and Oxygen react to form Al₂O₃ as,

                                2 Al  +  3/2 O₂    →    Al₂O₃

Oxidation number of Al on left hand side is zero, while than on right hand side in Al₂O₃ is +3. Means it has lost 3 electrons per one atom and six electrons per two atoms. Also, the oxidation number of O at left hand side in O₂ is zero, while that in Al₂O₃ it is -2 per atom and -6 per 3 atoms. 

So, two Al atoms have lost 6 electrons and 3 O atoms have gained six electrons.

For the reaction between solid tetraphosphorus trisulfide and oxygen gas to form solid tetraphosphorus decoxide and sulfur dioxi

<h3>What is a tetraphosphorus decoxide?</h3>

Tetraphosphorus decoxide, () is a non-metal oxide that gives acidic property when dissolved in water.

The name phosphorus decoxide can be interpreted as 4 phosphorus (P) atoms (‘Tetra’), bonds with 10 oxygen (O) atoms (‘Dec’) in a molecule. besides that, it is also known as phosphorus pentoxide.

It can be prepared by heating pure phosphorus with oxygen in blast furnace.

+  →

It is used as a dehydrating agent due to its week van der Waals dispersion forces. Thus, owing to give exothermic reaction when dissolved in watermore precisely, it is a white crystalline anhydrous (without water molecule) solid.

In granular form it can be also used as desiccant as well.

A polar covalent bond will form between which two atoms?
Alex_Xolod [135]

Types of Bonds can be predicted by calculating the difference in electronegativity.

If, Electronegativity difference is,

 

                Less than 0.4 then it is Non Polar Covalent

                

                Between 0.4 and 1.7 then it is Polar Covalent 

            

                Greater than 1.7 then it is Ionic

 

For Be and F,

                    E.N of Fluorine          =   3.98

                    E.N of Beryllium        =   1.57

                                                   ________

                    E.N Difference                2.41          (Ionic Bond)


For H and Cl,

                    E.N of Chorine           =   3.16

                    E.N of Hydrogen        =   2.20

                                                   ________

                    E.N Difference                0.96          (Polar Covalent Bond)


For Na and O,

                    E.N of Oxygen          =   3.44

                    E.N of Sodium          =   0.93

                                                       ________

                    E.N Difference                2.51          (Ionic Bond)


For F and F,

                    E.N of Fluorine          =   3.98

                    E.N of Fluorine          =   3.98

                                                        ________

                    E.N Difference                0.00         (Non-Polar Covalent Bond)

Result:

           A polar covalent bond is formed between Hydrogen and Chlorine atoms.

Einstein's formula tells us the amount of energy to which a given mass would be equivalent, if it were all suddenly turned into
skad [1K]
Einstein's famous equation, E = mc^2 relates the mass (m) of an object to energy (E). The speed of light (c), is the constant of proportionality. Einstein formulated the equation within his theory of special relativity. Indeed, a physical interpretation of this equation is that any given mass is equivalent to the energy given by the equation, if it were suddenly converted to energy. Therefore the answer to the question is true.
