The number of protons in the nucleus of the atom is equal to the atomic number (Z). The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the number of protons.
1) period
2) the answer is D) I because they are in the same column
3) B)Ge because they are in the same column
4) A) Al because they are in the same column (share same characteristics)
5) D) they have the same number of valence electrons
6) D) nonmetals
Answer:
+1
Explanation:
Na₂O₂
NOTE: the oxidation number of oxygen is always –2 except in peroxides where it is –1.
Thus, we can obtain the oxidation number of sodium (Na) in Na₂O₂ as illustrated below:
Na₂O₂ = 0 (oxidation number of ground state compound is zero)
2Na + 2O = 0
O = –1
2Na + 2(–1) = 0
2Na – 2 = 0
Collect like terms
2Na = 0 + 2
2Na = 2
Divide both side by 2
Na = 2/2
Na = +1
Thus, the oxidation number of sodium (Na) in Na₂O₂ is +1
To find the IUPAC name for compounds, you must memorize prefixes and suffixes and other terms in determining or naming a compound. The IUPAC name for compound ZnO is Oxozinc or Zinc Oxide. I hope this helps you on your assignment.
