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

Good evening! Does anyone know this? Earth Science

The fraction of Earth's radius (6371 km) relative to the thickness of the oceanic (7.5 km) and continental crust (35 km) is 0.12 and 0.55, respectively.    

What we know:

  • The average radius of Earth (E) = 6371 km
  • The average thickness of oceanic crust (O) = 7.5 km
  • The average thickness of continental crust (C) = 35 km

We need to convert all the above units from kilometers to miles:

E = \frac{0.6214 mi}{1 km}*6371 km = 3958.9 mi

O = \frac{0.6214 mi}{1 km}*7.5 km = 4.7 mi

C = \frac{0.6214 mi}{1 km}*35 km = 21.7 mi

Now, we can calculate the fraction of Earth's radius relative to each type of crust, with the given equation:

X = \frac{avg. \: thickness}{avg. \: radius} \times 100

  • <u>For the oceanic crust (O)</u>:

X = \frac{4.7 mi}{3958.9 mi}\times 100 = 0.12

  • <u>For the continental crust (C)</u>:

X = \frac{21.7 mi}{3958.9 mi}\times 100 = 0.55

Therefore, the fraction of Earth's radius relative to the oceanic and continental crust is 0.12 and 0.55, respectively.

Which of the following statements is not true regarding acids? (3 points)
horsena [70]

Answer:

Lewis acid is a substance that donates a lone-pair of electrons.

Explanation:

What is said in the statement corresponds to a Lewis base, not an acid. For example, NH3 is a Lewis base, since it is capable of donating its pair of electrons. Trimethylborane (Me3B) is a Lewis acid, since it is capable of accepting a solitary pair.
