C. Lone elements and atoms in gases : 0

Elements in the free elemental have an oxidation number of zero

E. Elements in groups 1, 2, and 17 and polyatomic ions : Ionic charge

Group 1, 2, and 17 ions are formed by the alkali metals, alkaline metals and halogens respectively. Alkali metals, alkaline metals and halogens form +1, +2 and -1 ions respectively. Polyatiomic ions have -1, -2, -3 charges such as OH-, CO32-, PO43- respectively.

B. Hydrogen : +1, – 1 if bonded to a diatomic metal

H has an oxidation number of +1. H in metal hydrides such as NaH (sodium hydride) has an oxidation number of -1

A. Oxygen : Almost always –2

O has an oxidation number of -2.

D. Elements with multiple oxidation states : Determined by other elements in the compound

V (vanadium) has different oxidation which depends on the compound in which V is found.

An ionic bond can be formed when one or more electrons are 1) equally shared by two atoms 2) unequally shared by two atoms 3) tr

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

4) transferred from the valence shell of one atom to the valence shell of another atom

Explanation:

Electrons are located outside of the nucleus which contains the protons and the neutrons.

For bonds to form, valence electrons located in the outermost shell electrons are involved. These are the valence electrons. These outer shell electrons can be shared or transferred between two combining atoms to form stable atoms.

In ionic bonds, the electrons are transferred from one specie to another. The atom that loses the electrons becomes positively charged and the receiving atom becomes negatively charged. This is the crux of ionic bonds.

Balance the following redox equation in acidic solution using the smallest integers possible and select the correct coefficient

romanna [79]

Answer:

Coefficient of $H^{+}(aq)$ is more than 4

Explanation:

Oxidation: $Sn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Sn^{4+}(aq)$

Balance charge: $Sn^{2+}(aq)-2e^{-}\rightarrow Sn^{4+}(aq)$ ......(1)

Reduction: $Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow Cr^{3+}(aq)$

Balance Cr: $Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq)\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}(aq)$
Balance O and H in acidic medium: $Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq)+14H^{+}(aq)\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}(aq)+7H_{2}O(l)$
Balance charge: $Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq)+14H^{+}(aq)+6e^{-}\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}(aq)+7H_{2}O(l)$ .......(2)

$[3\times Equation-(1)]+Equation(2)$ gives balanced equation:

$3Sn^{2+}(aq)+Cr_{2}O_{7}^{2-}(aq)+14H^{+}(aq)\rightarrow 3Sn^{4+}(aq)+2Cr^{3+}(aq)+7H_{2}O(l)$

So coefficient of $H^{+}(aq)$ is more than 4

What is the longest wavelength in the Balmer series? (Hint: the Rydberg constant for Hydrogen is 1.096776×107 1/m, and the Balme

boyakko [2]

<u>Answer:</u> The longest wavelength of light is 656.5 nm

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the longest wavelength, the transition should be from n to n+1, where: n = lower energy level

To calculate the wavelength of light, we use Rydberg's Equation:

$\frac{1}{\lambda}=R_H\left(\frac{1}{n_i^2}-\frac{1}{n_f^2} \right )$

Where,

$\lambda$ = Wavelength of radiation

$R_H$ = Rydberg's Constant = $1.096776\times 10^7m^{-1}$

$n_f$ = Higher energy level = $n_i+1=(2+1)=3$

$n_i$ = Lower energy level = 2 (Balmer series)

Putting the values in above equation, we get:

$\frac{1}{\lambda }=1.096776\times 10^7m^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2} \right )\\\\\lambda =\frac{1}{1.5233\times 10^6m^{-1}}=6.565\times 10^{-7}m$

Converting this into nanometers, we use the conversion factor:

$1m=10^9nm$

So, $6.565\times 10^{-7}m\times (\frac{10^9nm}{1m})=656.5nm$

Hence, the longest wavelength of light is 656.5 nm

when hydrogen atom absorbs a photon, and an electron moves level 1 to level 2, what happens to the energy of the atom?

pychu [463]

Answer:

When an electron is hit by a photon of light, it absorbs the quanta of energy the photon was carrying and moves to a higher energy state. One way of thinking about this higher energy state is to imagine that the electron is now moving faster, (it has just been "hit" by a rapidly moving photon).

Explanation: pls mark brainliest :))
