Oxidation is a process when an atom, a group of atoms, or an ion loses electrons.
For example,
Cu⁰ -------> Cu⁺² + 2e⁻. This is an oxidation process.
As we can see an oxidation number was 0, and it became +2. The oxidation number is increased. Oxidation number of the atom, when an atom has undergone oxidation, increases.
So, answer is b.False.
The Lewis Structure of HCN is shown below,
Number of Bonding Electrons: In HCN Hydrogen is bonded to Carbon through single bond and Nitrogen is bonded to Carbon through Triple Bond. Single bond is formed by two bonding electrons, while, triple bond is formed by six bonding electrons, Hence,
Number of Bonding Electrons = 8
Number of Non-Bonding Electrons:
In HCN there is only one lone pair of electron present on Nitrogen atom which is not taking part in bonding. Hence,
Number of Non-Bonding Electrons = 2
Result: Number of Bonding Electrons = 8 Number of Non-Bonding Electrons = 2
Answer:
The Bohr model suggested that electrons orbited the nucleus in circular paths where as the modern model views the atom to consist of positively charged nucleus surrounded by electrons.
Explanation:
In the modern model, the nucleus contains two sub-atomic particles, the protons which are positively charged and the neutrons which are not charged.According to Bohr's model,the electron in a hydrogen atom travel around the nucleus in a circular orbit. In the modern model, electrons do not move around nucleus around circular obits.
The change of phase from a vapor to a liquid is called condensation.
Hope this helps~
Explanation:
The boiling point of liquid nitrogen, liquid argon, and liquid oxygen are -196°C, -186°C, and -183°C respectively. So, the correct order is nitrogen, argon, oxygen.
