Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Oxidation number is defined as the number located at the top of the symbol of an atom by either gain or loss of electrons when it chemically combines with another atom.

In H_{2}SO_{4} compound, the oxidation number of a hydrogen atom is +1  and oxidation number of an oxygen atom is -2.

Therefore, let the oxidation number of sulfur is x and calculate its value as follows.

                   2(1) + x + 4(-2) = 0      

                          x = +6

Thus, we can conclude that the oxidation number of sulfur in sulfuric acid is +6.

H2SO4

oxidation number of hydrogen :- +1

oxidation number of oxygen  :-   -2

if oxidation number of H2SO4 is x


2x (+1) + x + 4x (-2) = 0

+ 2 + x -8 = 0

x = +6

<u>oxidation number of H2SO4 :-  +6</u>

Which quantum number distinguishes the different shapes of the orbitals?
UkoKoshka [18]
The four quantum numbers are:
principle quantum number: this number describes the energy of orbitals. It describes the most probable distance between the electron and the nucleus.
angular quantum number: this number describes the shape of orbitals, and thus, describes the angular distribution.
magnetic quantum number: this number describes the number of orbitals and how they are oriented within the subshell
spin quantum number: this number determines the direction of the spin of the electron.

Based on the above, the quantum number that distinguishes the different shapes of the orbitals is the angular quantum number

Which of these statements BEST describes a possible environmental
andriy [413]

Answer:

Option B. is correct

Explanation:

Wind turbines collect the kinetic energy of wind using the turbine blades. The blades turn an electric generator as they are connected to a drive shaft, which in turn produces electricity.

These turbine blades can disrupt flying wildlife including bats and birds.

So,

wind farms can disrupt migrating wildlife.

Option B. is correct.
