Answer:

The oxidation state of Ba in cation Ba²⁺ is +2

The oxidation state of S in SO₂, is +4

The oxidation state of S in anion sulfate (SO₄⁻²) is +6

The oxidation state of Zn in the Zinc sulfate, is +2

Explanation:

We define oxidation state as the number which can be negative or positive that  

indicates the number of electrons that the atom has accepted or transferred.

All the elements in ground state has 0 as oxidation state.

This numbers are very important for redox reaction which are balanced by the ion electron method.

When the elements gain electrons, the element is being reduced so the oxidation state decreases.

When the elements release electrons, the element is oxidized so the oxidation state increases.

We have to think, that global charge of a compound is 0, for example in the ZnSO₄.

The sulfate anion has a global charge of -2 because it has released 2 protons, it came from the sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄). As the global charge is -2, oxygen acts with -2, and the anion has 4 atoms so the global charge of O is -8. Definetly S, has +6 as oxidation state.

In the SO₂, oxygen acts with -2 and there are 2 atoms in the compound, so the global charge is 0 and the global charge for O  is -4. Therefore S must act with +4.

Ba²⁺ is an element of group 2 and has a tendency to form a cation, so it can release electrons for that purpose.  At least, it can release 2 e⁻, that's why the oxidation state is +2. It can complete the octet rule and it will be isoelectronic with Xe.

John rings a doorbell.
Kamila [148]

Answer:

<u>Yes</u>

Explanation:

Remember, <u>Newton's third law of motion;</u> which says in part that <em>"Every action has an equal and opposite reaction."</em>

Hence, in this case, the fact that the doorbell rang out implies that there was another force that was exerted on it; which is, John's finger pressing the doorbell.

In other words, when John uses his fingers to press the doorbell button he applies a force (a mechanical force), and that force results in an opposite reaction; the ringing of the doorbell.

Using the “rule of 8” explain why carbon is the backbone of organic molecules
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

Carbon has 4 valence electrons (electrons that are used in bonding), and therefore it can make 4 bonds which is the most one can (other than some exceptions, but in general it is the most). It wants to make 4 bonds so it can reach a full octet of 8 elections, hence the rule of 8.

Explain how plate tectonics are responsible for where we find some of our natural resources.
Mekhanik [1.2K]
At divergent boundaries, plates separate, forming a narrow rift valley. Here, geysers spurt super-heated water, and magma, or molten rock, rises from the mantle and solidifies into basalt, forming new crust. Thus, at divergent boundaries, oceanic crust is created.

Flourine is more reactive than chlorine​
IRISSAK [1]
Justification for your answer

➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖

Chlorine is less reactive than fluorine because the outer electrons in a chlorine atom are further from the nucleus than the outer electrons in a fluorine atom. It is harder for a chlorine atom to gain an electron than it is for a fluorine atom.

There are three things to consider every single time relative reactivity is unknown; atomic radius, shielding, and number of electrons. The reactivity is the halogens ability to gain an electron, so number of electrons already in the atom plays a vital role. Chlorine has more electrons so repels a reacting electron with greater force than fluorine, making it less likely to react.

Fluorine also has fewer electron shells than chlorine, so there are fewer electrons between the positive nucleus and the reacting electron to essentiallly block, or weaken, the electromagnetic attraction. This is shielding. Lastly, fluorine is much smaller molecule than chlorine, and the shorter distance, or radius, between the nucleus and the electron again makes it more likely to attract the electron and react to gain a noble gas configuration.
