What is the oxidation state of each element in COH2?

1 answer:

6 0

first of all will find for carbon
so x+(-2)+(1*2)=0.x=0
<span>carbon=0. </span>
<span>For oxygen it will b
;4+x+1*2=0,x=-6. </span>
<span>Oxygen=-6. and finally </span>
<span>For hydrogen; </span>
<span>4+(-2)+x*2=0;x=-1. </span>
<span>Hydrogen=-1.
</span>and the overall oxidation state of molecule is zeroo and it is a neutral compound

A bond in which one atom contributes both bonding electrons to a covalentbond

yKpoI14uk [10]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

A coordinate bond

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

A chemical bond is a force of attraction between two or more atoms of elements.
Covalent bond is a type of chemical bond that occurs between non-metal atoms.
It occurs as a result of sharing of electrons between the non-metal atoms.
Atoms involved in covalent bond formation may contribute equally to the bond formation or the electrons shared may come form one of the atoms.
When the electrons shared in a covalent bond are derived from one atom, then the covalent bond is known as a coordinate bond.

What is the mole, and why is it useful in chemistry?

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:The mole is important because it allows chemists to work with the subatomic world with macro world units and amounts. Atoms, molecules and formula units are very small and very difficult to work with usually. However, the mole allows a chemist to work with amounts large enough to use.
