"what is the oxidation number of phosphorus in h2p3o10?"

Chemistry
1 answer:
slava [35]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

             Oxidation Number of Phosphorous  =  + 6

Explanation:

According to Rules of Assigning Oxidation States;

          i)  The Oxidation State of Hydrogen atom in a compound is assigned as +1 except for Hydrides i.e. NaH and MgH₂ where it is assigned with -1.

          ii) The Oxidation State of Oxygen in a compound is assigned as -2 except for Peroxides where it is given -1 and OF₂ where it is assigned with +1 respectively.

Oxidation State of P in H₂P₃O₁₀;

As over all molecule is neutral we can write it as,

                       H₂P₃O₁₀  =  0

Putting oxidation number of H and O,

                       (+1)₂ + P₃ + (-2)₁₀  =  0

                       (+2) + P₃ + (-20)  =  0

                       + 2 + (P)3 -20  =  0

                       (P)3  =  + 20 - 2

                       (P)3  =  + 18

                       P  =   + 18 ÷ 3

                       P  = + 6

Particles of Substance X are dispersed in water to form a colloid. Which describes the electrical charges on the particles of Su
Novay_Z [31]

The correct answer is option A.

All the particles carry the same charge, which could be either positive or negative.

All the particles of substance X will have same charge on its surface, which is balanced by the oppositely charged ions in the water.

For example, soap solution (sodium palmitate) dissociates into ions:

C₁₅H₁₁COONa --> C₁₅H₁₁COO⁻ + Na⁺

The cations (Na⁺) passes into the water while the anions (C₁₅H₁₁COO⁻) form aggregates or colloids.

A carbon atom and a hydrogen atom form what type of bond in a molecule? see concept 2.3 (page 36)
svetoff [14.1K]
A bond is a force of attraction between atoms. They are mainly fthree types of bonds namely; ionic bond, which involves transfer of electrons between a metal and a non metal, covalent bond which occurs between non metal atoms by sharing of electrons, metallic bond which is a bond in the metal structure between metal atoms and the sea of electrons. in this case carbon and hydrogen are non metals hence they will have a covalent bond between their atoms.
