Answer:

The oxidation number of a free element is alwa The oxidation number of a monatomic ion equals the chahe oxidation number of  

H

is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electronegative elements.

The oxidation number of  

O

in compounds is usually -2, but it is -1 in peroxides.

The oxidation number of a Group 1 element in a compound is +1.

The oxidation number of a Group 2 element in a compound is +2.

The oxidation number of a Group 17 element in a binary compound is -1.

The sum of the oxidation numbers of all of the atoms in a neutral compound is 0.

The sum of the oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion is equal to the charge of the ion

Why does electrical current always flow from areas of negative charge to areas of positive charge ?
AlladinOne [14]
So, in metals where the charge carriers (electrons) are negative, conventional current is in the opposite direction as the electrons. ... In other conductive materials, the electric current is due to the flow of both positively and negatively charged particles at the same time.

Which of the following processes could result in the net movement of a substance into a cell, if the substance is more concentra
telo118 [61]

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

The movement of substances(ions and molecules) against their concentration gradient is called Active transport.Since these substances are moving against whew they are already in abundance,extra energy is needed for them to move against this gradient.Therefore,ATP.,oxygen is needed by the cells undergoing this transport process to transfer substances into the cells.

It is useful for entry of substances in plants e.g glucose,and for transport of materials in intestine in man

Na-K pumps, exocytosis,endocytosis are examples of this transport process.

It is inhibited by lack of oxygen,cyanide etc.
