Answer:

Explanation:

In a chemical formula, the oxidation state of transition metals can be determined by establishing the relationships between the electrons gained and that which is lost by an atom.

We know that for compounds to be formed, atoms would either lose, gain or share electrons between one another.

The oxidation state is usually expressed using the oxidation number and it is a formal charge assigned to an atom which is present in a molecule or ion.

To ascertain the oxidation state, we have to comply with some rules:

  • The algebraic sum of all oxidation numbers of an atom in a neutral compound is zero.
  • The algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of all atoms in an ion containing more than one kind of atom is equal to  the charge on the ion.

For example, let us find the oxidation state of Cr in Cr₂O₇²⁻

This would be:  2x + 7(-2) = -2

                          x = +6

We see that the oxidation number of Cr, a transition metal in the given ion is +6.

Which one is a true statement about endothermic reactions? A. I need you from an outside source is continuously being added. B.
tekilochka [14]
Correct answer: "A. Energy from an outside source is continuously being added."
An endothermic reaction is a reaction that is characterised by the system absorbing energy from its surroundings. That energy is usually in heat form. For example, when mixing water<span> with potassium chloride, this reaction will absorb heat and the container will feel cold - endothermic reaction.</span>

How is a molecule of hydrogen formed from two hydrogen atoms?
Shtirlitz [24]
A molecule of hydrogen is formed by two hydrogen atoms, that is a fact.

How does it work? When two atoms, known as "diatomic" pair with another in a bond known non-polar covalent bonds. Where they equally share electrons. A Hydrogen atoms needs 1 more electrons to fill its first shell fully and have a full valence shell. So if two H's share their electrons, they'll both have a full V-Shell!

That's the basics of both the H-H bond and all the other diatomic bonds as well.
