+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

In humans, infections by fungi and protists are usually more difficult to treat than bacteria infections. Suggest an explanation
Basile [38]
<span>Fungal diseases are difficult to treat mainly because they are eukaryotic organisms just like us humans, and therefore have less differences for drugs to target without harming the human body as well. Most antibiotics target e.g. the peptidoglycan layer in the bacterial (a prokaryote) cell wall, which is a safe target since eukaryotic cells do not have equivalent structures. Similarly many differences in metabolic pathways between humans and prokaryotes is often targeted by antibiotics, but metabolism of fungi and humans is much more uniform, and hence it is difficult to exclusively target the fungi only.

Select the correct answer. Given: 2Al + 6HCl → 2AlCl3 + 3H2 If the chemical reaction produces 129 grams of AlCl3, how many grams
ivann1987 [24]

The reaction produces 2.93 g H₂.

M_r:                        133.34  2.016

        2Al + 6HCl → 2AlCl₃ + 3H₂

<em>Moles of AlCl₃</em> = 129 g AlCl₃ × (1 mol AlCl₃/133.34 g AlCl₃) = 0.9675 mol AlCl₃

<em>Moles of H₂</em> = 0.9675 mol AlCl₃ × (3 mol H₂/2 mol AlCl₃) = 1.451 mol H₂

<em>Mass of H₂</em> = 1.451 mol H₂ × (2.016 g H₂/1 mol H₂) = 2.93 g H₂

State the number of neutrons in an atom of Ne-20 and the number of neutrons in an atom of Ne-22. choose two answers * 1 point Ne
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Ne 20: 10

and

Ne 22: 12

Explanation:

Ne-20:

N = A - Z = 20 - 10 = 10 neutrons

Ne-22:

N = A - Z = 22 - 10 = 12 neutrons

N: number of neutrons

A: mass number

Z: atomic number
