The oxidation state of the atoms of any molecule in the element state equals zero. H2 is is the element state, therefore the oxidation state of the whole molecule equals zero and the oxidation states of the atoms also equals zero. Answer letter D is the correct answer. 
Magnesium has an oxidation state = zero before it undergoes the reaction and is oxidized. The oxidations state of the magnesium in Mg(OH)2 is +2.

Rewrite the function from vertex form to standard form. Then use either form to calculate f(1) and f(-1).
jonny [76]

Answer:

Standard form: (x+3)^2=1/2(y+3)

f(1) = 29

f(-1) = 5

Explanation:

The standard form of a parabola with a directrix that is horizontal is

(x-h)=4(P)(y-k)

Using the vertex form, find the vertex, foci, and the distance from the vertex to the focus or directrix.

It's easier to use the vertex form to plug in values for x.

f(1) = 2((1)+3)^2-3

f(1) = 29

f(-1) = 2((-1)+3)^2-3

f(-1) = 5

Consider the statement, “In a chemical reaction, atoms are neither created nor destroyed, only rearranged.” Why is this a statem
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer: The law of conservation of mass is reffering to the fact that energy cannot be created or destroyed. So when you speak about atoms not being created or destroyed it is the same thing. Unless you're talking about an atomic bomb where the atoms are split.

Atomic size of inert gases do not affect you inertness why​
Tresset [83]

Answer:

Because your body has built-in resistance to certain gases, no matter the size of the gas cloud.

That is why we are able to stay non-inert to these types of gases, like Carbon dioxide.
