Ok so O3 has a greater electronegativity and is taken into account first, -2*3=-6, so As has to equal 6/2=3, so As has a +3 oxidation number here

Answer : The oxidation number of arsenic (As) is, (+3)

Explanation :

Oxidation number : It represent the number of electrons lost or gained by the atoms of an element in a compound.

Oxidation numbers are generally written with the sign (+) and (-) first and then the magnitude.

When the atoms are present in their elemental state then the oxidation number will be zero.

The oxidation number of  oxygen (O)  in compounds is usually -2.

The given compound is, As_2O_3

Let the oxidation state of 'As' be, 'x'

2x+3(-2)=0\\\\2x-6=0\\\\2x=+6\\\\x=+3

Therefore, the oxidation number of arsenic (As) is, (+3)

Arrange the following in order of increasing bond strength of the carbon oxygen bond:
icang [17]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

It is known that length of a bond is inversely proportional to the bond strength. This also means that a single bond has long length due to which it is weak in nature.

And, a double bond is shorter in length and has more strength as compared to a single bond. Whereas a triple bond has the smallest length and it has high strength as compared to a double or single bond.

For example, carbon monoxide is CO where there is a triple bond between the carbon and oxygen atom.

Carbon dioxide is CO_{2} where there exists a double bond between the carbon and oxygen atom.

A carbonate ion is CO^{2-}_{3} when two oxygen atoms are attached through single bond with the carbon atom and another oxygen atom is attached through a double bond to the carbon atom.

Hence, we can conclude that order of increasing bond strength of the given carbon oxygen bond is as follows.

        Carbonate ion < carbon dioxide < carbon monoxide

Explain the bonding that occurs between sodium and chlorine. Specifically, what kind of bonding takes
babymother [125]

Answer:

Ionic bonds form when atoms transfer electrons between each other, forming ions that are electrically attracted to each other forming a bond between them. Sodium chloride (NaCl) is a typical ionic compound. The picture below shows both a sodium and a chlorine ion.

Explanation:

ionic bond

Because of the propensity of sodium to lose an electron and of chlorine to gain an electron, the elements are well suited to bond with one another. This transfer of electrons results in the formation of the ionic bond holding Na+ and Cl– together.

Use the equation: 2 kclo3 2 kcl + 3 o2 to write the mole ratio needed to calculate: (a) moles of kcl produced from 3.5 moles of
poizon [28]

Answer:-

(a) 3.5

(b) 3

Explanation:-

2KClO3 --> 2KCl + 3 O2

From the equation we see that 2 moles of KClO3 gives 2 moles of KCl.

So 3.5 moles of KClO3 will give 3 moles of KCl.

Again

3 moles of O2 are produced with 2 moles of KCl.

If 4.5 moles of O2 produced then

moles of KCl = 4.5 x 2/3

=3
