+2 is the oxidation number for Zinc
<span>Oxidation Number for a Transition metal = Number of Unpaired d-electrons + Two s-electrons
</span>[Ar]4s2 3d10 is the electron configuration for zinc. The d-block is full with 10 electrons meaning there are no unpaired d-electrons, so the oxidation number is 0 unpaired d-electrons + 2 s-electrons = +2
Answer:
A cation has more protons than electrons, consequently giving it a net positive charge.
The choices can be found elsewhere and as follows:
a. mass-mass problems
<span>b. mass-volume problems </span>
<span>c. mass-particle problems </span>
<span>d. volume-volume problems
</span>
I believe the correct answer is option D. It is volume-volume problems that does not require the use of molar mass. <span> Here you are dealing with molarities and volumes to determine concentrations. Molar mass is not part of any calculations.</span>
Answer:
The electron configuration for this atom is Calcium, which has 2 valence electrons.
Explanation:
Following the periodic table and with the electron configuration, you will end up with calcium, which has 2 valence electrons. (Always follow the electron configuration from left to right! It begins at hydrogen, then to helium... and so on.)
1s2 -> He....
2s2 -> Be....
2p6 -> Ne...
3s2 -> Mg...
3p6 -> Ar...
4s2 -> Ca.
