What is the oxidation state of an individual carbon atom in caco3?

Chemistry

Answer:

The oxidation state of the carbon is +4.

Explanation:

Calcium is in group 2 of the periodic table, therefore, its oxidation state is +2.

The oxidation state of the oxygen is -2.

As the compound is neutral, the sum of the oxidation states of all atoms must be 0.

Oxidation State Ca + Oxidation State C + (Oxidation State O)×3 = 0

+2 + x + (-2)×3 = 0

2 + x - 6 = 0

x = 6 -2

x = 4

Hence, the oxidation state of the carbon is +4.

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

year 1 is 5.5%

year 2 is 7.5%

year 3 is 10.2%

Explanation:

since,

length of the transect covered in seaweed / total lenth of transect x 100

then,

0.55 / 10.0 x 100 = 5.5

and

0.75 / 10.0 x 100 = 7.5

and

1.02 / 10.0 x 100 = 10.2

you could also just move the decimal to the right once

which types of intermolecular forces are most likely to dominate between large molecules containing long chains of carbon atoms
Serga [27]

Van der waals force

Explanation:

The intermoleclular forces are attraction between molecules. Interatomic forces are attraction between atoms in a compound.

In most hydrocarbons the weak Van der waals attraction are known.

  • These forces are weak attraction joining non-polar and polar molecules together.
  • These forces can also be found in layers of graphite.
  • They are of two types;

London dispersion forces are attraction that exists between non-polar molecules and the noble gas.

Dipole - Dipole attractions are forces of attraction existing in polar molecules.

In hydrocarbons, we have non-polar molecules and intermolecular attraction is london dispersion forces.

If Oxygen were to gain 2 electrons, the new electron configuration for the oxide ion
Naddika [18.5K]
It would be most similar to neon. it wouldn’t be sulfur because that’s in the same group as oxygen and has the same number of electrons. and carbon has less than that so the only one that makes sense is neon
