23. Using the periodic table, what is the oxidation number of:

Chemistry
1 answer:
Aloiza [94]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

a. +2

b. +3

c. -1

Explanation:

The typical oxidation states can be determined from the periodic table based on the number of valence electrons an atom has.

a. Calcium belongs to group 2A, meaning it has 2 valence electrons and, therefore, would have an oxidation state of +2 in compounds.

b. Aluminum is in group 3A, meaning it has 3 valence electrons and would have an oxidation state of +3 in compounds when the 3 electrons are lost.

c. Fluorine would become fluorine if it gained 1 additional electron to achieve an octet, so its oxidation state would be -1.

A geologist sends you a sample that was collected in the field. you find that it is a gray-colored igneous rock containing amphi
Bogdan [553]
A grey coloured rock with amphibole and intermediate plagioclase like an andesine would classify as an intermediate rock by Bowen's Reaction Series and by the classification of igneous rocks would probably be like a diorite which is intermediate between a gabbro and a granite. A diorite essentially has no quartz but has the silicates amphibole (like hornblende), mica perhaps a little pyroxene and andesine plagioclase.

TRUE OR FALSE
lesantik [10]
It depends on what unit/subject you're looking at.

Because in physics, I know that if you are considering Newton's theory of particles, all particles technically go in a straight line from the original direction. BUT, if you're looking at the Wave of the Particle theory, then you would assume that particles do not necessarily follow the above b/c they follow the properties of a wave...

In Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry, narrow atomic lines are desirable. However, line broadening arises from: (a) Jablonski e
LenKa [72]

Answer: b) Doppler Effect

Explanation:

Line broadening in AAS, arises due to some effects, which can occur due to a number of factors. The line width broadening effects include: Doppler, Lorentz, Self absorption, and quenching effects.

Doppler effect arises because along the line of observation, atoms will have different components of velocity.
