Is the distance between atoms in a solid constant? Explain why or why not.

1 answer:

8 0

Answer:
In solid materials, the atomic spacing is described by the bond lengths of its atoms. In ordered solids, the atomic spacing between two bonded atoms is generally around a few ångströms (Å), which is on the order of 10−10 meters.

An ion has 28 protons, 24 electrons, and 30 neutrons. What is its ionic<br> charge?

mina [271]

Ionic charge = +4

To answer this we look only at the protons and electrons. Because there are 4 more protons than electrons we know that this ion has 4 less electrons than it would need to have to have a neutral charge. Therefore, the ionic charge is +4

Describe how oxidation and reduction involve electrons, change oxidation numbers, and combine in oxidation reduction reactions

borishaifa [10]

Answer: Oxidation is defined as the reaction in which there is loss of electrons. It is accompanied by increase in oxidation number.

$Zn\rightarrow Zn^{2+}+2e^{-}$

Zinc in solid state has oxidation number of zero and on losing electrons changes to $Zn^{2+}$ with oxidation number of +2.

Reduction is defined as the reaction in which there is gain of electrons. It is accompanied by decrease in oxidation number.

$2H^++e^{-}\rightarrow H_2$

Hydrogen ions with +1 oxidation state gains electrons and converts to molecular hydrogen with oxidation state of zero.

In the given redox reaction, both oxidation and reduction takes place. They go hand in hand.

$Zn+H_2SO_4\rightarrow ZnSO_4 +H_2$

Zinc converts to $Zn^{2+}$ and gets oxidized. $H^+$ gains electron and convert to $H_2$ .
