+2 is the oxidation number for Zinc
<span>Oxidation Number for a Transition metal = Number of Unpaired d-electrons + Two s-electrons  
</span>[Ar]4s2 3d10 is the electron configuration for zinc. The d-block is full with 10 electrons meaning there are no unpaired d-electrons, so the oxidation number is 0 unpaired d-electrons + 2 s-electrons = +2

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

A pure element is a pure substance that has only one kind of atoms. If a substance is present in nature in elemental form, it means that the element is not very reactive as reactive elements exist in the form of their compounds with atoms of other elements. Element can be categorized as a metal or a non-metal based on some physical observable properties. Generally, metals are shiny lustrous solids and nonmetals are gases. Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity whereas nonmetals are not conductors.

Explanation:

Hope this helps:)

We discussed the different types of intermolecular forces in this lesson. Which type would you expect to find in CO2?
g100num [7]

Answer:

Dispersion forces.

Explanation:

CO2 contains dispersion forces, and covalent bonds. It is a linear molecule, and the bond angle of O-C-O is 180 degree. O is more electronegative than C, the C-O contains polar bond with the having negative end pointing towards the O.

CO contains two C-O bonds. They cancel each other out because of the dipoles point in opposite directions. Although, CO2 contains polar bonds, it is known as a nonpolar molecule. So, the only intramolecular forces which CO2 having are London dispersion forces.
