Answer:
The O is being oxidized, but at the same time, is being reducted.
Explanation:
H₂O₂(l) + ClO₂(aq) → ClO₂(aq) + O₂(g)
In this reaction, we have 4 compounds:
Hydrogen peroxide
Chlorine dioxide (twice)
Oxygen
In both dioxide, the Cl acts with +4 in oxidation state; the oxygen acts with -2.
Oxgen in ground state has 0, as oxidation number.
In peroxide, the H acts with +1 but the oxygen acts with -1.
Peroxide is making the oxidation number from the O in the ClO₂, to decrease (reduction) and to increase in the O, at the ground state.
Hydrogen peroxide is a good reducing and oxidizing agent at the same time.
Answer:
Lithium will lose about 2 electrons
Making it a cation
The arrow shows that the bond between the chlorine atom and the fluorine atom is nonpolar. The electrons in the bond are pulled more strongly by the fluorine atom, and the chlorine atom is slightly positive.
Explanation:
- The bond between Chlorine and fluorine is nonpolar bonding because both of them are sharing an equal number of electrons in the bond. H2, F2, and CL2 are common examples of this.
- Chlorine and fluorine are electronegative molecules but Fluorine is above chlorine in the periodic table. Since fluorine is above Chlorine, fluorine has slightly highest electronegative nature compare to fluorine. This is the reason why Fluorine molecules are attracting electrons more than chlorine atoms. This making chlorine atoms slightly positive in Cl and F bonding.
Cysteine and methionine contain sulfur.
