The thing you MUST do FIRST is look for any H's, O's, or F's in the equation
1)any element just by itself not in a compound, their oxidation number is 0
ex: H2's oxidation number is 0
ex: Ag: oxidation number is 0 if its just something like Ag + BLA = LALA
2) the oxidation number of H is always +1, unless its just by itself (see #1)
3) the oxidation number of O is always -2, unless its just by itself (see #1)
4) the oxidation number of F is always -1, unless its just by itself (see#1)
ok so after you have written those oxidation numbers in rules 1-4 over each H, F, or O atom in the compound, you can look at the elements that we havent talked about yet
for example::::
N2O4
the oxidation number of O is -2.
since there are 4 O's, the charge is -8. now remember that N2O4 has to be neutral so the N2 must have a charge of +8
+8 divided by 2 = +4
N has an oxidation number of +4.
more rules:
5) the sum of oxidation numbers in a compound add up to 0 (when multiplied by the subscripts!!!) (see above example)
6) the sum of oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion is the charge (for example, PO4 has a charge of (-3) so
oxidation # of O = -2. (there are 4 O's = -8 charge on that side ) P must have an oxidation number of 5. (-8+5= -3), and -3 is the total charge of the polyatomic ion
The answer fam is.......
Different land forms have different combinations of elevation and relief.
Elevation is the height of a feature above sea level.
Relief is the difference between the highest and lowest points in an area.
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. It is NaCl the formula that represents an ionic compound. An ionic compound is held my oppositely charged atoms. Therefore, this would mean that one is a positive and another is a negative held together. NaCl is held by these forces.
Helium is a nonmetal. There are several reasons for this, it is unable to donate electrons and It has an extremely low melting point.
Elements 3 to 10 (Li to Ne) show a more or less steady increase in ionization energy.
<h3>What is ionisation energy?</h3>
The amount of energy required to remove an electron from an isolated atom or molecule.
The major difference is the increasing number of protons in the nucleus as you go from lithium to neon. That causes greater attraction between the nucleus and the electrons and so increases the ionization energies. In fact the increasing nuclear charge also drags the outer electrons in closer to the nucleus.
