PLEASE HELP! (IM GIVING BRAINLIEST) Iron is a transition metal and, as such, can form two types of "oxide" salt compounds, FeO a

nd Fe2O3.
a) How are the iron atoms in each of these formulas different?

b) Explain the electron behavior among iron and oxygen atoms as they bond with one another in both of these compounds.​

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Iron exhibits two stable oxidation states, +2 and +3 states. The difference between FeO and Fe2O3 is that, in FeO, Fe is in the +2 oxidation state while in Fe2O3, Fe is in the +3 oxidation state

In FeO, iron looses two electrons which are gained by oxygen as follows;

Fe^2+ + O^2- -----> FeO

In Fe2O3, Fe looses six electrons while oxygen has gained six electrons as shown;

2Fe^3+ + 3O^2- ------>Fe2O3

What is the wavelength of a 2500 kg truck traveling at a rate of 75km/h?
Pepsi [2]

m = mass of the truck traveling = 2500 kg

v = speed of the truck traveling = 75 km/h = 75 (km/h) (1000 m/ 1 km) (1 h /3600 sec) = 20.83 m/s

h = plank's constant = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴

λ = wavelength of truck = ?

according to de broglie's principle, wavelength of truck is given as

λ = h/(mv)

inserting the values in the above equation

λ = (6.63 x 10⁻³⁴)/((2500) (20.83))

λ = 1.3 x 10⁻³⁸ m

If the compound potassium chloride is written in words, how do you know to write the formula with one potassium and one chloride
NNADVOKAT [17]

Because there is only one stable ionic compound made up of potassium and chlorine, and that is KCl. So calling is "mono chloride" or similar would be redundant assuming you understand basic chemistry (i.e. knowing oxidation numbers of K is +1 and Cl is -1). When compounds can exist in multiple forms in nature like CO and CO2 you will preferably indicate it through the nomenclature, calling one a monoxide and the other a dioxide.
