<span>The problem has to do with oxidation states of the matter. The oxidation state of oxygen will always be -2 with the exception of peroxides which will have a state of -1. The overall balanced state of chemical compounds will be 0, so the oxidation state of Mn in MnO2 will be +4. The oxidation state of MnO4- will then be +7 to balance out to the negative one charge. The state change from +4 to +7 is 3, thus three electrons have to be lost in order for this to happen; a loss of a charge of -3 results in an increase of charge of 3. Oxidation is always the process of 'losing' electrons.

Answer: 12.18 u
Explanation: The average atomic mass of an element is calculated by taking the weighted average of the atomic masses of its stable isotopes.
In other words, each stable isotope will contribute to the average mass of the element proportionally to its abundance.
Number 3:
Chlorine, Sodium, Sulfate, Magnesium, and Calcium.
Number 4:
The salt Increases/Decreases the density.
Hope this helps you!

Answer:
Since electrons cannot have the same set of quantum numbers, a maximum of two can be in the n = 1 level, and a third electron must reside in the higher-energy n = 2 level. If there are two electrons in the n = 1 level, their spins must be in opposite directions.
The correct answer is D :)
