Think of a microscope. Microscopic items/beings can only be seen under a microscope. You can also see that they would be very small, because micro = small.

Microscopic has micro in it which is a microscope. A microscope is used to find something really small. So, microscopic means really small.

How is the oxidation state of a transition metal determined from the chemical formula ?
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

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.

What is the biggest disadvantage of solar electricity, or at least, why is it not used much more than it currently is?
soldier1979 [14.2K]
"The Solar electricity source of energy comes from the sun’s rays. It is more often in the form of a panel known as the solar panel. It has a photovoltaic system that generates and supplies energy in commercial and residential areas. Even though numerous countries are using this type of electricity to save electric-induced power, it is not used for a number of reasons. One is that 1 panel with a size of 6 by 10 solar cells is expensive. There are countries who cannot afford to buy them. Two, it requires a larger area to place the panel. Three, the efficiency is low. The smaller the panel is, the lower its efficiency and therefore produces lesser power to generate a specific area."
