Answer:

Explanation:

A) In H2SO4, the oxidation number of H is , that of S is , and that of O is .

In H₂SO₄ the oxidation sate of H is +1 (H₂= +2) that of sulfur is +6 and O is -2 (O₄= -8)

In SO₄ the oxidation state is -2, because negative and positive charges are not equal. That's why two hydrogen atoms are attached with one SO₄ to balance the charge.

B) In CaSO4, the oxidation number of Ca is , that of S is . , and that of O is .

In CaSO₄ the oxidation sate of Ca is +2 that of sulfur is +6 and O is -2 (O₄= -8)

In SO₄ the oxidation state is -2, because negative and positive charges are not equal. That's why one calcium atoms is attached with one SO₄ to balance the charge.

C) In HF, the oxidation number of H is , and that of F is .

In HF the oxidation state of hydrogen is +1 and that of fluorine is -1. Both form ionic compound.

Atoms of which element have the greatest tendency to gain electrons?

Anastasy [175]

Fluorine.

Because:- Atoms want to become stable, for an atom to become stable, they need 8 valence electrons. Since Fluorine has 7 valence electrons, it only needs one more electron to become stable and have an octet. An octet is when an atom/element has 8 valence electrons. Since Fluorine will need to gain an electron, it will have a negative charge, and become an anion.

When circumstances are right, most materials undergo a process called thermal expansion. Which statement best describes the caus

harina [27]

Answer: Matter is heated, and its particles spread out more

Explanation:

Thermal expansion occurs when there's an expansion of an object or material or when an object becomes bigger because of a rise in its temperature. This brings about the faster movement of the heated molecules and the atoms spreading out.

Therefore, the cause and effect of thermal expansion will be that when matter is heated, and its particles spread out more.

Using the periodic tables, identify the heaviest member of each of the following groups:

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

(a) Alkali metals: Francium (Fr)

(b) Chalcogens: Polonium (Po)

(c) Noble gases: Radon (Rn)

(d) Alkaline earth metals: Radium (Ra)

Explanation:

In the periodic table, the atomic mass increases down the group. Therefore, the last element of a group is the heaviest element of the group.

(a) alkali metals: The chemical elements that are present in group 1 of the periodic table, except hydrogen.

The heaviest member of this group is francium (Fr)

(b) chalcogens: The chemical elements that are present in group 16 of the periodic table

The heaviest member of this group is polonium (Po)

(c) noble gases: The chemical elements that are present in group 18 of the periodic table

The heaviest member of this group is radon (Rn)

(d) alkaline earth metals: The chemical elements that are present in group 2 of the periodic table.

The heaviest member of this group is radium (Ra)
