Answer:

K in KClO2 = +1

Cl in KClO2 = +3

O in KClO2 = -2

K in KCl = +1

Cl in KCl = -1

O in O2 = 0

Chlorine is going from +3 to -1 so it is being reduced

Oxygen is going from -2 to 0 so it is being oxidized

Explanation:

Potassium is a constant +1

Chlorine could be -1, +1, +3, +5, or +7

Oxygen can be either -2 or +2

Every reactant has to equal zero if there is not a given charge.

Each element can only have certain charges, for example in the previous answer K = +5. Potassium can only be the charge of +1

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula of the reaction:

            KClO₂ → KCl + O₂

To assign oxidation numbers, we have to obey some rules:

  1. Elements in an uncombined state or one whose atoms combine with one another to form molecules have an oxidation number of zero.
  2. The charge on simple ions signifies their oxidation number.
  3. The algebraic sum of all the oxidation number of all atoms in a neutral compound is zero. For radicals with charges, their oxidation number is the charge.

The oxidation number of K in KClO₂:

                                   K + (-1) + 2(-2) = 0

                                    K-5 = 0

                                    K = +5

The oxidation number of K in KCl:

                                K + (-1) = 0

                                K = +1

The oxidation number Cl in KClO₂ is -1

For Cl in KCl, the oxidation number is -1

For O in KClO₂, the oxidation number is (2 x -2) = -4

For O in O₂, the oxidation number is 0

K moves from an oxidation state of +5 to +1. This is a gain of electrons and K has undergone reduction. We then say K is reduced.

O moves from an oxidation state of -4 to 0. This is a loss of electrons and O has undergone oxidation. We say O is oxidized.

Suppose a large atom bonds with a small
Zielflug [23.3K]
A large atom means that the radius would be large, meaning that the effective nuclear charge is low, therefore a lower electronegativity based on the periodic table. A smaller atom would mean the opposite, therefore a higher electronegativity. This combination would mean that the new molecule is polar.

Also, to answer your question, it would be most likely different from both atoms, as size doesn't really matter in a compound's properties.

A bacterium is in a nasty environment. What sort of reproduction would it use in this situation? Why? How else would it protect
lana [24]

The bacteria in nasty environment undergoes multiple fission.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

The bacteria is a unicellular prokaryotic organisms that are found in each and every places of the world. They can survive in extremes of temperatures and pH. They can save themselves through special processes in the extreme climates.

The bacteria undergoes multiple fission in these climates. They cover themselves up with a strong and tough capsule inside which they undergo several Binary fissions. This leads to the formation of multiple cells enclosed with a capsule.

With the return of the favourable climate, the capsule rupture and these newly formed cells come out.
