What is transition metals oxidation state?

Chemistry
1 answer:
kupik [55]4 years ago
4 0
An atom that accepts an electron to achieve a more stable configuration is assigned an oxidation number of -1. The donation of an electron is then +1. When a transition metal loses electrons, it tends to lose it's s orbital electrons before any of its d orbital electrons.

How many grams of Ca(OH)2 are needed to produce 500 mL of 2.99 M Ca(OH)2 solution? 1L=1000mL
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

74 g/mol

Explanation:

Using a periodic table, we can determine the molar mass by adding together 1 Ca, 2 O, and 2 H. This turns out to be approximately (40+32+2) = 74 g/mol

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

B) The term "inert" was dropped because it no longer described all the group 8A elements.

Explanation:

Inert elements in chemistry simply refers to elements that are chemically inactive and are not expected to form any compounds. this is the general belief for the group 8 elements as they all have complete duplet/octet configurations (and ideally, they ought to be very stable with no tendency to form compounds by participating in the loss and gain of electrons). However the discovery of compounds like xenon tetrafluoride (XeF4) proved this to be wrong.

Again, the reason the term - inert gses was droppedis beacause this term is not strictly accurate because several of them do take part in chemical reactions.

After dropping the term - Inert gases, they are now referred to as noble gases.
