Fluorine is a nonmetal and as such it would need to take in or obtain an electron from a metal to have a stable octet, or full number of 8 electrons in its valence shell. Thus due to the indifference of electrons and protons it becomes an anion, a negatively charged ion.

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Non-metals are the species that tend to gain electrons in order to complete their octet.

For example, atomic number of fluorine is 9 and its electronic distribution is 2, 7.

So, in order to completely fill its octet it needs to gain an electron. Hence, it means it is a non-metal.

Whereas elements that tend to lose electrons in order to attain stability are known as metals.

For example, atomic number of potassium is 19 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 8, 1. Hence, to attain stability it loses its 1 valence electron.

Thus, we can conclude that fluorine (F) has seven electrons in its outermost shell. Fluorine is a non-metal.

My homework said"Solve using the standard algorithm. Check your quotient and remainder by using multiplication and addition."
Harman [31]
84 divided by 2 = 42.

2 goes into 8 four times, so there would be your 4.
 Then 2 goes into 2 one time, and there would be your 2.

You check your answer by multiplying 42 by 2, which would give you, 84.

For each of the following balanced oxidation-reduction reactions, (i) identify the oxidation numbers for all the elements in the
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

<h3>1. 10 e⁻</h3>

Oxidation numbers

I₂O₅(s): I (5+); O(2-)

CO(g): C(2+); O(2-)

I₂(s): I(0)

CO₂(g): C(4+); O(2-)

<h3>2. 4 e⁻</h3>

Oxidation numbers

Hg²⁺(aq): Hg(2+)

N₂H₄(aq): N(2-); H(1+)

Hg(l): Hg(0)

N₂(g): N(0)

H⁺(aq): H(1+)

<h3>3. 6 e⁻</h3>

Oxidation numbers

H₂S(aq): H(1+); S(2-)

H⁺(aq): H(1+)

NO₃⁻(aq): N(5+); O(2-)

S(s): S(0)

NO(g): N(2+); O(2-)

H₂O(l): H(1+); O(2-)

Explanation:

In order to state the total number of electrons transferred we have to identify both half-reactions for each redox reaction.

1.  I₂O₅(s) + 5 CO(g) → I₂(s) + 5 CO₂(g)

Oxidation: 10 e⁻ + 10 H⁺(aq) + I₂O₅(s) → I₂(s) + 5 H₂O(l)

Reduction: 5 H₂O(l) + 5 CO(g) → 5 CO₂(g) + 10 H⁺(aq) + 10 e⁻

2. 2 Hg²⁺(aq) + N₂H₄(aq) → 2 Hg(l) + N₂(g) + 4 H⁺(aq)

Oxidation: N₂H₄(aq) → N₂(g) + 4 H⁺(aq) + 4 e⁻

Reduction: 2 Hg²⁺(aq) + 4 e⁻ → 2 Hg(l)

3. 3 H₂S(aq) + 2H⁺(aq) + 2 NO₃⁻(aq) → 3 S(s) + 2 NO(g) + 4H₂O(l)

Oxidation: 3 H₂S(aq) → 3 S(s) + 6 H⁺(aq) + 6 e⁻

Reduction: 8 H⁺(aq) + 2 NO₃⁻(aq) + 6 e⁻ → 2 NO(g) + 4 H₂O
