Why do some transition metals have multiple oxidation states?

Chemistry
1 answer:
zalisa [80]3 years ago

Answer:

Transition metals can have multiple oxidation states because of their electrons. The transition metals have several electrons with similar energies, so one or all of them can be removed, depending the circumstances. This results in different oxidation states.

Predict the reactivity of silicon in water relative to that of sodium, magnesium, and aluminium. Explain your answer. How does t
Inessa [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The reactivity of metals has a lot to do with their position in the electrochemical series. However, it is also known that metallic character decreases across the period. This implies that as we move from left to right along the periodic table. Sodium, magnesium, aluminum and silicon continues to decrease in metallic character. As a matter of fact, silicon is a metalloid and not a pure metal.

Sodium reacts with cold water to give a vigorous reaction,magnesium and aluminium reacts with steam at red heat.

Silicon does not react with water, even as steam, under normal conditions.

A standard solution contained 0.8 mg/mL. A student took 2 mL of the standard solution and added 10 mL of water. What is the new/
galben [10]
To get the concentration of the second solution let us use the following formulae

C1V1=C2V2 where C1 is concentration of first solution and V1 is the volume of solution first solution. on the other hand C2 is the concentration of second solution and V2 is the volume of second solution.

therefore

0.8×2=(2+10)×C2
   1.6 =12×C2
1.6/12=C2
C2     = 0.1333mg/mL
