Determine the basic oxidationnumber for elements in s and porbitals​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Andrews [41]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The oxidation state, sometimes referred to as oxidation number, describes the degree of oxidation (loss of electrons) of an atom in a chemical compound. Conceptually, the oxidation state, which may be positive, negative or zero, is the hypothetical charge that an atom would have if all bonds to atoms of different elements were 100% ionic, with no covalent component. This is never exactly true for real bonds.

The term oxidation was first used by Antoine Lavoisier to signify reaction of a substance with oxygen. Much later, it was realized that the substance, upon being oxidized, loses electrons, and the meaning was extended to include other reactions in which electrons are lost, regardless of whether oxygen was involved.

What do the molecules do when they gain more kinetic energy and how does that affect the density?
GREYUIT [131]

The more kinetic energy a substance has, the warmer it will be and the faster particles will be moving, which reduces the density of the substance

A substance floats or sinks in another because of its relative
mart [117]
A substance floats or sinks in another because of its relative density. Take ice floating in water for example. Water is more dense than ice so ice floats.

Mass is incorrect as the buoyancy or ability of an object to float depends on the mass per volume, which is equivalent to density.
