<span>Same answer, different setup. We know that the sum of the oxidation numbers is zero for a compound and the ionic charge for a polyatomic ion, and we know that sulfite ion is -2.
Create an algebraic equation by multiplying the subscripts times the oxidation number of a single element.
+x -6 = -2
+x -2
S O3
Solve for x
x = +4</span>
Answer:
To gain stability
Explanation:
If the outermost shell is not completely filled with electrons, the element has one of the three options: gaining electrons, losing electrons or sharing electrons. By gaining or losing electrons, ionic compounds are produced. Sharing of electrons results in the formation of covalent compounds.
Answer:
The hydrogen molecules combine with the oxygen molecules, 2 hydrogen molecules, and 1 oxygen molecules is the amount needed to make one water atom or molecule, whatever you want to call it.
Answer:
This reaction is characteristic to metal carbonates, which decompose when heated to form the oxide of the metal and carbon dioxide gas.
Explanation:
Just did it...
A. Raccoons. They will be able to survive in a housing area just as well, or even better then they had in the forrest.
I hope that helped! :D
