Answer:

+7

Explanation:

Within every molecule, there is always an oxidation number assigned to every individual atom within the molecule. Hydrogen will always have an oxidation number of +1 (because it only has one electron to give, and when it gives that electron, it has a charge of +1).

Elements in group 1 always have an oxidation number of +1, and elements in group 16 always have an oxidation number of -2. Using this information we can calculate the oxidation number of Mn in the molecule KMnO₄.

Overall the molecule is neutral, so all the oxidation numbers would add up to zero:

K + Mn + O₄ = 0

(+1) + Mn + 4(-2) = 0

(+1) + Mn + (-8) = 0

Mn + (-7) = 0

Mn = +7

A discus thrower throws a 1.6kg discus at 25m/s what's the kinetic energy?​
Ilya [14]

Answer:

<h2>500 J</h2>

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object can be found by using the formula

k =  \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2} \\

where

m is the mass

v is the velocity

From the question

m = 1.6 kg

v = 25 m/s

We have

k =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 1.6 \times  {25}^{2}  \\  = 0.8 \times 625 \\  = 500

We have the final answer as

<h3>500 J </h3>

Can someone PLEASE HELP me? <br><br> How can you tell if a bond is Covalent?
g100num [7]
There is a couple different ways to determine if a bond is ionic orcovalent. By definition, an ionicbond is between a metal and a nonmetal, and a covalent bond is between 2 nonmetals. So you usually just look at the periodic table and determine whether your compound is made of a metal/nonmetal or is just 2 nonmetals.
