Answer:
5. +5
6. +7
Explanation:
The oxidation state can be obtained as follow:
5. Oxidation state of oxygen, O = –2
Oxidation state of phosphorus, P =?
P3O10 = –5
3P + 10O = –5
3P + (10 x –2) = –5
3P – 20 = –5
Collect like terms
3P = –5 + 20
3P = 15
Divide both side by 3
P = 15/3
P = +5
Therefore, the oxidation state of P in P3O10^5- is +5
6. Oxidation state of oxygen, O = –2
Oxidation state of manganese, Mn =.?
Mn2O7 = 0
2Mn + 7O = 0
2Mn + (7 x –2) = 0
2Mn – 14 = 0
Collect like terms
2Mn = 14
Divide both side by 2
Mn = 14/2
Mn = +7
Therefore, the oxidation state of Mn in Mn2O7 is +7
Which figure is closest to the age of the solar system?
4.5 billion years
What force pulled the solar system together out of a cloud of gas and dust?
Gravity
Which term best describes how the solar system is formed?
Gradually
Answer:
Chemical reactivity increases down a group and decreases from left to right of a period.
Explanation:
The higher the ionization energy is, the lower the reactivity is. Since the ionization energy is highest in the top right corner of the periodic table, we can assume that the most reactive elements are in the opposite bottom left corner. This is because the electrons that react are farther away from the nucleus thus experience less attraction to the nucleus (called nuclear shielding). Therefore their electrons are more easily removed than elements that don't ecperience nuclear shielding.
