Oxidation states number (OSN) show how many electrons gained, lost or shared during chemical reactions.
Here are some rules of oxidation state numbers.
1. OSN of 1A elements in compounds is +1
2. OSN of Oxygen in compounds is -2
3. Sum of OSN of elements equals zero in neutral compounds.
4. OSN of free elements is zero. ex. F2, N2, O2.. all have 0 OSN.
If an element loses electrons during reaction, it is oxidized. That element is called as reducing agent.
If an element gains electrons during reaction, it is reduced. That element is called as oxidizing agent.
In the given reaction, potassium perchlorate decompose into potassium chlorate and oxygen.
a) KClO4.
K (potassium) is 1A element, OSN +1,
Oxygen in the compound has OSN -2.
Let OSN of Cl be x
1+ x+(4*-2)=0 (since compound is neutral)
Solve the equation. X is equal to +7.
b)Potassium perchlorate is the reactant, Potassium chloride and Oxygen are the products.
Reactants -----> Products
c) Check out change of OSN of elements.
in KCl, OSN number of K is +1, Cl is -1. So Cl+7---->Cl-1. It takes 8 electrons. It was reduced.
in KClO4, OSN number of O is -2, in O2 it becomes O. So O-2---->O. It gives electrons. It was oxidized.
Shortly,
LOSS OF ELECTRONS=OXIDIZED
GAIN OF ELECTRONS=REDUCED
Average velocity is the change in distance divided by the time it takes to travel that distance. so the first one.
(3) the forward reaction rate is equal to the reverse reaction rate
hope this helps!
Answer:
yes, a compound can have more than one carbon-carbon double bond
While staying in the same period, if we move from left to right across the period, the atomic radius decreases. The reason is, in a period the number of shells remain the same and the number of electrons and protons increase as we move across the period to the right. The increased electrons and protons attract each other with greater force and hence the atomic size decreases.
So the element on the left most will have the largest atomic radius. So the correct ans is Potassium. Potassium will have the largest atomic size among Potassium, Calcium and Scandium.
