Answer is: region A (from picture below).
Region A contains alkaline and earth alkaline elements (metals). This elements have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons (alkaline metals one electron and earth alkaline metals two electrons). When element lose electrons, oxidation number of element grows (oxidation process).

Region A of the periodic table contains elements that are easiest to oxidize

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The oxidation-reduction reaction or abbreviated as Redox is a chemical reaction in which there is a change in oxidation number

3 basic theories explain this Redox concept:

  • 1. Binding/release of oxygen

The oxidation reaction is the binding of a substance with oxygen. (O₂)

For example:

2SO₂ + O₂ ----> 2SO₃

The reduction reaction is the release of oxygen from a substance.

For example:

2CuO → 2Cu + O₂

  • 2. Electron release / binding reaction

Oxidation is an electron release event

Example:

2F ---> 2Fe³⁺ + 6e⁻

The reduction is an electron capture event

Example:

3O₂ + 6e⁻ ---> 3O²⁻

  • 3. The reaction of addition/reduction of oxidation number

Oxidation is an increase in oxidation number, while reduction is a  decrease in oxidation number.

The periodic system of elements is an arrangement of elements classified based on similar properties and their atomic number order.

The periodic system is divided into groups (vertical order) and periods (horizontal order)

Ionization energy is the energy that an atom needs in the gas phase to release its electrons

the ionization energy from one period from left to right gets bigger, which shows that the more right the elements are getting harder to release the electrons

Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons

In a period from left to right, electronegativity is getting bigger, showing a tendency to attract more and more electrons

Elements that are easily subjected to oxidation, will usually be easy to release electrons, especially in elements of the Alkaline and alkaline earth groups, which will release electrons to be stable and have electron configurations such as noble gases

Apart from alkaline and alkaline earth has weak ionization energy making it easy to release electrons and also low electronegativity so that it is difficult to attract electrons

So the correct area is area A

One agent of chemical weathering is _______________ which combines with water to form carbonic acid
ololo11 [35]
I believe the answer is carbon dioxide. Because when carbon dioxide and water combine in the atmosphere it forms a very weak acid called carbonic acid, which falls to the Earth's surface as precipitation.

Imagine you are handed a mineral sample. It breaks with a conchoidal fracture, but displays no cleavage. It does not react with
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Quartz.

Explanation:

According to the characteristics given in the question the mineral must surely be Quartz.

Quartz does not react with hydrochloric acid.

Its is pink in color and has anon metallic luster. It has a specific gravity of 2.65. Quartz is continuous framework of SiO4 , with each oxygen being shared with two tetrahedra, giving an overall chemical formula of SiO2.

What would be the oxidation number of the atoms in these compounds?
sashaice [31]

Answer:

Oxidation state] is defined as the charge an atom might be imagined to have when electrons are counted according to an agreed-upon set of rules:

The oxidation state of a free element (uncombined element) is zero for a simple (monoatomic) ion, the oxidation state is equal to the net charge on the ion.

Hydrogen has an oxidation state of 1 and oxygen has an oxidation state of −2 when they are present in most compounds. (Exceptions to this are that hydrogen has an oxidation state of −1 in hydrides of active metals, e.g. LiH, and oxygen has an oxidation state of −1 in peroxides, e.g. H2O2 the algebraic sum of oxidation states of all atoms in a neutral molecule must be zero, while in ions the algebraic sum of the oxidation states of the constituent atoms must be equal to the charge on the ion.

The same is written in my textbook. But how am I supposed to find the ox. number of an atom, which is in compound like K2UO4?

A 0.211 g sample of carbon dioxide, CO2, has a volume of 560 mL and a pressure of 429 mmHg whats the temperature of the gas in K
SCORPION-xisa [38]

The temperature of the gas sample is 813 K.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We have to use the ideal gas equation to find the temperature of the gas sample.

The ideal gas equation is PV = nRT

Pressure, P = 429 mm Hg = 0.56 atm

Volume, V = 560 mL = 0.56 L

R = gas constant = 0.08205 L atm mol⁻¹K⁻¹

Mass = 0.211 g

Molar mass of carbon di oxide = 44.01 g / mol

Moles, n = $\frac{given mass}{molar mass} = \frac{0.211 g}{44.01 g/mol}

              = 0.0047 mol

Now, we have to plugin the above values in the above equation, we will get the temperature as,

$T= \frac{PV}{nR}

T = $\frac{0.56  \times 0.56}{0.08205 \times 0.0047}

 = 813 K

So the temperature of the gas sample is 813 K.
