<h3>Answer:</h3>
Rb = + 1
S = + 4
O = - 2
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
Oxidation states of the elements were calculated keeping in mind the basic rules of assigning oxidation states which included assignment of +1 charge to first group elements i.e. Rubidium (Rb) and assignment of -2 charge to Oxygen atom. Then the oxidation state of Sulfur was calculated as follow,
Rb₂ + S + O₃ = 0
Above zero (0) means that the overall molecule is neutral.
Putting values of Rb and O,
(+1)₂ + S + (-2)₃ = 0
(+2) + S + (-6) = 0
+2 + S - 6 = 0
S - 6 = -2
S = -2 + 6
S = + 4
Explanation:
Atomic number of magnesium is 12 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 2. On the other hand, atomic number of iodine is 53 and its electronic configuration is .
Hence, there are 7 valence electrons in an iodine atom and there are 2 valence electrons in a magnesium atom.
So, one atom of iodine requires one electron from a donor atom to complete its octet. But one magnesium atom contains two valence electrons.
Therefore, one magnesium atom will combine with two iodine atoms to result in the formation of magnesium iodide as follows.
Therefore, an ionic bond will be formed when magnesium reacts with iodine to make magnesium iodide.
Explanation:
Given that,
Volume of a hallow glass sphere is 350 mL
Specific gravity is 1.252
We need to find the weight of the sphere. The ratio of density of substance to the density of water is called specific gravity.
The density of water is 1 g/mL
We know that,
1 pound = 453.592 grams
So,
m = 0.97 lbs
So, the weight of the sphere is 0.97 lbs or 0.97 pounds.
Answer:
B. Pluto's orbit is not clear of other objects
Explanation:
Pluto is a dwarf planet and considered as ninth planet of the solar system.
A large body whose orbit do not clear the neighbourhood is classified as a dwarf planet. The gravity of Neptune limit the orbit of Pluto and shares its orbital neighbourhood with many Kuiper belt objects.
Hence, the correct answer is "B. Pluto's orbit is not clear of other objects".
Answer:
New predators and not a lot of food
Explanation:
If new predators come than they can eat the insects and go extinct. Also if there is not a lot if food than the will die because they have nothing to eat.
