Answer:

Oxidation number: 3+

Coordination number: 4

Explanation:

<em>In the compound K[Co(C₂O₄)₂(H₂O)₂] (where C₂O₄²⁻ = oxalate) the oxidation number and coordination number of Cobalt are, respectively?</em>

<em />

The sum of the oxidation numbers and charges of the species forming the complex is equal to the overall charge, in this case, zero.

K + Co + 2 . C₂O₄²⁻ + 2 . H₂O = 0

+1 + Co + 2 . (2-) + 2 . 0 = 0

Co = 3+

The coordination number is the number of ligands attached to the central atom. 2 oxalates and 2 water molecules are attached to the cobalt atom, so the coordination number is 2 +2 = 4.

Let's Assign Symbols to molecules like,

                    C₂O₄  =  X
and 
                    H₂O   =  Y
Then,
                                K [ Co (X)₂ (Y)₂ ]

As, Potassium (K) has a O.N  =  +1

To neutralize, the coordination sphere must have -1 oxidation number.
So,
                                    [ Co (X)₂ (Y)₂ ]  =  -1
As,
           O.N of X  = -2
Then 
       O.N of (X)₂  =  -4

Also,
O.N of H₂O is zero as it is neutral, So,

                                    [Co - 4 + 0 ]  =  -1
Or,
                                    Co  =  -1 + 4

                                    Co  =  +3

Result:
          Oxidation Number of Coordination Sphere is -1 and Oxidation Number of Cu is +3.

The partial negative charge at one end of a water molecule is attracted to the partial positive
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

             Hydrogen Bond

Explanation:

                   Hydrogen bond interactions are formed between the hydrogen atom bonded to most electronegative atoms (i.e. F, O and N) of one molecule and most electronegative atom (i.e. F, O and N) of another molecule.

In this interaction the hydrogen atom has partial positive charge and electronegative atom has partial negative charge.

Similarities and differences between solids liquids and gases
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Detail is given below.

Explanation:

Similarities:

All are the forms of matter.

Solid, liquid and gases are made up of ions, atoms and molecules.

They have shape and volume.

Molecules in Liquid and solid are closer to each others.

Liquid and gases can flow very easily.

Liquid and solid both can not compressed very easily.

Differences:

Molecule of gases randomly move everywhere and occupy all available space but liquid and solid's molecules are not move as much easier as molecules of gases can.

The density of gases are very low as compared to the liquid and solid.

Gas molecules are at long distance from each other while in liquid and solid they are closer to each other.

The very weak inter molecular forces are present between gas molecules as compared to the liquid and solids.

Solids have definite volume and shape but liquid and gases acquire the shape of container.

In solids molecules are tightly pack and very close to each other while in liquid molecules are not tightly pack like in case of solid.

The densities of solids are also very high as compared to the liquid and gas.

There are very strong inter molecular forces are present between solid molecules.
