+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

Choose all of the answers that are correct when describing this atom.
gregori [183]
I believe that this atom is  chlorine and the atom has an overall charge of zero.
Chlorine is chemical element which is atomic number 17 in the periodic table. Each chlorine atom has 17 protons (positively charged) in the nucleus balanced by 17 electrons (negatively charged) in the energy shells ( thus an overall charge of zero)

Ivan

Answer:

10.875L

Explanation:

The problem here is a simple conversion. The conversion is from gal to liters Liter is a SI unit for recording volume as stated in the problem.

Given that:

              1 gallon of water = 3.75L

              2.90 gallon will be 2.9 x 3.75; 10.875L
