A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy without itself being consumed by the reaction.
Every atom tends to form configuration of noble gas , with the 8 electrons in valence shell.
Answer:
+1
Explanation:
Na₂O₂
NOTE: the oxidation number of oxygen is always –2 except in peroxides where it is –1.
Thus, we can obtain the oxidation number of sodium (Na) in Na₂O₂ as illustrated below:
Na₂O₂ = 0 (oxidation number of ground state compound is zero)
2Na + 2O = 0
O = –1
2Na + 2(–1) = 0
2Na – 2 = 0
Collect like terms
2Na = 0 + 2
2Na = 2
Divide both side by 2
Na = 2/2
Na = +1
Thus, the oxidation number of sodium (Na) in Na₂O₂ is +1
Answer:

Answer:
Two
Explanation:
Elements in group 16 wants to bond with elements in group IIA, the group of alkaline earth metals.
- The bonding will make it easier for them complete their octet.
- Elements in group 16 has 6 valence electrons.
- To have a complete octet, they require 2 more electrons.
- Group II elements are willing donors as they are metals.
- For Group II elements to fill their octets, they must lose two electrons.
- So the willingness of group II elements to lose two electrons and the readiness for group 16 elements to gain the electrons makes the desire one another.
