Fe(NO3)2 not sure how to get the oxidation numbers of all elements

Chemistry
1 answer:
Shtirlitz [24]3 years ago
4 0
You must remember that oxidation number of hydrogen in acids is always +1, oxidation number of oxygen in oxides & acids is always -2... metals has always oxidation number on plus!

group NO3 comes from HNO3...and oxidation number of whole acid group is always on minus and equal to the amount of hydrogen atoms in this acid... so oxidation number of NO3 = -1

we have 2 NO3 groups so 2*(-1) = -2 and that is the reason why oxidation number of Fe in this formula must be +2... because sum of all elements always gives 0!

Now we could count of oxidation number for nitrogen... we write HNO3 and start counting from right to left:
3*(-2) from oxygens + 1 from hydrogen = -5
so nitrogen must have +5 oxidation number... because sum all in formula must be 0.

Hi!


<u>The correct options would be: </u>

is an electron

is emitted from nucleus

has a -1 charge


Explanation:

A beta particle is a result of a neutron (a neutral particle) changing into two particles of opposite charges - a high energy electron (with a negative charge -1) and a positron (with a positive charge +1). Neutrons are present in the nucleus of an atom, and thus the beta particles are said to be emitted from the nucleus. They do have a charge, not zero, but it is not +2 and can only be either -1 or +1. This form of radiation is not electromagnetic energy because beta particles are massless, and do not travel at the speed of light (both being characteristics of electromagnetic radiation). Beta particles are not pure forms of energy.


Hope this helps.

nadya68 [22]

Answer:

warm, dry downslope wind affecting Southern California - Santa Ana wind

a seasonally changing wind- monsoon

wind blowing from a valley up a mountain slope - valley breeze

generated by cold thunderstorm downdrafts - haboob

Explanation:

The Santa Ana wind occurs in early autumn. They bring hot and dry weather to areas around the South-West coast. They move at high speeds, affecting most parts of Southern California.

Monsoon is a seasonal wind that blows across Southern Asia. It usually blows in summer. It is a a seasonally changing wind.

Valley breeze is an example of convection current in nature. It is produced by rapid warming of the valley floor leading to the expansion of air making it to flow up the slopes. At night, radiation from the surface cools the slopes. This leads to the rise of cooler and denser air which drains into the valley.

Haboob is generated by cold thunderstorm downdrafts. It is associated with large sandstorms and dust storms.

How many protons neutrons and electrons does nitrogen 14 have?
vazorg [7]
Many nitrogen atoms have seven neutrons<span> (14-7 = 7). Some atoms of nitrogen, however, have eight electrons. They are atoms of N-15, an isotope of nitrogen. In a neutral atom, the number of protons must equal the number of electrons.</span>
