Sort the following chemicals for their ability to act as an oxidizer. List from strongest to weakest; 1 being strongest, 6 being
2 answers:
Explanation:
A oxidizing agent or oxidizer is a substance that loses electrons and itself gets reduced.
Also, a substance or element that has more positive value of or reduction potential will act as a strong oxidizer because it will easily get reduced.
Therefore, standard reduction potential of the given elements is as follows.
K = -2.92
Ag = 1.83
Au = 0.80
Cu = 0.16
Ni = -0.23
Ca = -2.76
Hence, Ag has the highest positive value and calcium has the lowest. Thus, list from strongest to weakest oxidizer are as follows.
Ag > Au > Cu > Ni > Ca > K

Explanation:
Formula to calculate hybridization is as follows.
Hybridization =
where,
V = number of valence electrons present in central atom
N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom
C = charge of cation
A = charge of anion
So, hybridization of is as follows.
Hybridization =
=
= 2
Hybridization of is sp. Therefore,
is a linear molecule. There will be only two electron groups through which Be is attached.
Similarly, hybridization of is calculated as follows.
Hybridization =
=
= 5
Therefore, hybridization of is
is also a linear molecule. Though there are three lone pair of electrons present on a xenon atom and it is further attached with fluorine atoms through two electron pairs. Hence, there are in total five electron groups.
Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options is the correct examples of linear molecules for five electron groups.
