Answer:

it drifts through the atmosphere and the vapor absorbs heat then the warm air rises up therefore leaving the planet's surface and releasing the heat back into the upper part of the atmosphere

What is the oxidation number of cl− in the hypochlorite ion clo−?

mariarad [96]

Answer : The oxidation number of chlorine (Cl) is, (+1)

Explanation :

Oxidation number : It represent the number of electrons lost or gained by the atoms of an element in a compound.

Oxidation numbers are generally written with the sign (+) and (-) first and then the magnitude.

When the atoms are present in their elemental state then the oxidation number will be zero.

Rules for Oxidation Numbers :

The oxidation number of a free element is always zero.

The oxidation number of a monatomic ion equals the charge of the ion.

The oxidation number of Hydrogen (H) is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electronegative elements.

The oxidation number of oxygen (O) in compounds is usually -2, but it is -1 in peroxides.

The oxidation number of a Group 1 element in a compound is +1.

The oxidation number of a Group 2 element in a compound is +2.

The oxidation number of a Group 17 element in a binary compound is -1.

The sum of the oxidation numbers of all of the atoms in a neutral compound is zero.

The sum of the oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion is equal to the charge of the ion.

The given compound is, $ClO^-$

Let the oxidation state of 'Cl' be, 'x'

$x+(-2)=-1\\\\x-2=-1\\\\x=+1$

Therefore, the oxidation number of chlorine (Cl) is, (+1)

Which statements about the structure of the periodic table are true?

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Below are the statements which are true about the structure of the periodic table:

B: The inner transition elements are placed at the bottom of the periodic table for easy viewing.

D: The distribution of electrons in energy levels is responsible for the shape of the periodic table.

Explanation:

Point A:

As we know that in a periodic table there are 7 period s and 18 groups. So, the number of periods is evidently lesser than the number of groups. But the shape of periodic table is regular and rectangular so point A is false.

Point B:

The inner transition elements or -f block elements are put at the bottom for easy viewing. These are the elements that have the valence electrons only in the f-orbital's. Therefore, they are placed separately at the bottom side of the table so that they can be easily viewed or studied from there. So, point B is true.

Point C:

If we talk about option C, then it is very clear and true that considering a rectangular shape of the periodic table, the groups are vertically arranged and periods are horizontally arranged, therefore it is false.

Point D:

Atoms of all elements have definite electronic distribution in different energy levels like s, p d or f. This is a very prominent feature of periodic tale that elements are divided in specific blocks, s, p, d and f based on their electronic configurations. Therefore, it is true.

Point E:

We also know that no. of metals in a periodic table are more than the no. of non metals like almost 91 out of 118 elements are metals in periodic table. Therefore, the point E "Nonmetals take up more than half the area of the periodic table." is false.

Hope it helps!

How many carbon atoms are there in a 1.5-carat diamond? diamonds are a form of pure carbon. ( 1 carat=0.20 grams)?

11111nata11111 [884]

1 carot = 0.2 grams
1.5 carot = 0.3 grams.

1 mol of Carbon = 12 grams
x mol = 0.3 grams

0.3 * 1 = 12 x
x = 0.3/12
x = 0.025 mol

1 mol of Carbon is 6.02 * 10^23 atoms
0.025 mol of carbon is x

1/0.025 = 6.02*10^23 * /x
x = 0.025 * 6.02 * 10^23
x = 1.5 * 10^22 atoms of carbon.

Will the composition of water molecules vary depending on their source?

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

It does not matter where the sample of water came from or how it was prepared. Its composition, like that of every other compound, is fixed.
