How does the oxidation state of O change in the following reaction?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Liula [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Oxygen Doesn't change

However, Li is oxidized (0 to +1), Na is reduced (+1 to 0)

Explanation:

On reactant side, Oxygen has -2 oxidation charge because we know common oxidation states such as oxygen -2, hydrogen +1 etc.

So NaOH, O is -2, H is +1, so Na has to be +1 to equal total charge of compound

In product side, LiOH, again O has to be -2, H is +1, so Li +1 as well..

We see that oxygen oxidation state doesn't change. However, for Li it becomes oxidized going from 0 to +1 whereas, Na is reduced going from +1 to 0.

What is the electron geometry if you have 4 electron groups around the center atom? What is the electron geometry if you have 4
nadya68 [22]

Answer:tetrahedral

Explanation:

According to Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory (VSEPR). The number of electron pairs on the valence shell of the central atom in a molecule influences the shape of that molecule. Four electron pairs around the central atom of a molecule leads to a tetrahedral geometry as predicted by VSEPR.

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

the gravitational attraction that exists between all bodies

Explanation:

Comet shoemaker-levy 9 was the comet that broke away and collided with the largest planet on our solar system, the Jupiter. The comet fall apart from the asteroids in the year 1992 and flew and hit Jupiter in the year 1994. This was predicted by the scientist.

Similarly when a comet can hit a planet can be accurately predicted by the scientist or the researcher by understanding and studying the gravitational forces that exists between the bodies in the solar system. It is very important to understand the gravitational attractions which exists between all the bodies in the universe in order to calculate or predict when can a comet collide with a planet.
