The answer is (3) HClO. In the Cl2, chlorine has an oxidation number of zero. In HCl, the oxidation number is -1. In HClO2, the oxidation number is +3. In HClO, it is +1. You can calculate this by using O with oxidation number of -2 and H with +1.
Answer:
atom is the answer I think
Answer:
1. The metal atom/ion in these compounds are Ni and Ni2+ respectively.
2. The electrons from s oribital will jump to d orbital and so I expect CO to donate electron pairs in 4p and 4s orbitals and form sp3 hybridisation.
Answer:
Binary compound
Explanation:
Binary compounds:
The compounds which are made up of the atoms of only two elements are called binary compounds.
For example:
The following compounds are binary:
HCl
H₂O
NH₃
HCl is binary because it is composed of only hydrogen and chlorine. Ammonia is also binary compound because it is made up of only two elements nitrogen and hydrogen.
water is also binary because it is also made up of only two elements hydrogen and oxygen.
SF₆ is binary compound because it consist of atoms of only two elements i.e, sulfur and fluorine.
