1) in periodic acid (HIO₄), iodine has oxidation number +7, hydrogen has oxidation number +1, oxygen has -2, compound has neutral charge:
+1 + x + 4 · (-2) = 0.
x = +7.
2) in molecule of iodine (I₂), iodine has oxidation number 0, because iodine is nonpolar molecule.
3) in sodium iodide (NaI), iodine has oxidation number -1, sodium has oxidation number +1:
+1 + x = 0.
x = -1.
4) in iodic acid (HIO₃), iodine has oxidation number +5, hydrogen has oxidation number +1, oxygen has -2, compound has neutral charge:
+1 + x + 3 · (-2) = 0.
x = +5.
I’m guessing it would be A because the river discharge tends to gather near coastlines where the river ends
Astronauts use "Astronomical Unit" to measure the distance between planets in our solar system "only". To measure long distances like between 2 galaxies, they use "light years". One Astronomical Unit = Average distance between sun and earth which is equal to 149.6 million kilometers. Ping me if you have any doubt.
Answer:
It might cause fire or extreme smoke.
Explanation:
Answer:
.
Explanation:
Based on the electron configuration of this ion, count the number of electrons in this ion in total:
.
Each electron has a charge of 
.
Atoms are neutral and have 
charge. However, when an atom gains one extra electron, it becomes an ion with a charge of . Likewise, when that ion gains another electron, the charge on this ion would become 
.
The ion in this question has a charge of . In other words, this ion is formed after its corresponding atom gains two extra electrons. This ion has 
electrons in total. Therefore, the atom would have initially contained 
electrons. The atomic number of this atom would be 
.
Refer to a modern copy of the periodic table. The element with an atomic number of is sulphur with atomic symbol 
. To denote the ion, place the charge written backwards ("
" for a charge of ) as the superscript of the atomic symbol:
.
