Answer: It is called a Crookes Tube, and he used it to discover cathode rays, which were later determined to be electrons.
When oxygen is found is peroxide, it has an oxidation number of -1.
The chemical formula of hydrogen peroxide is H2O2. We know that hydrogen always has +1 oxidation state until it forms metal hydrides. So in H2O2, the oxidation state ofhydrogen is +1.
Now, let oxidation state of oxygen be x. So,
2 * (+1) + 2*x = 0
2 + 2x = 0
2x = -2
x = -2 / 2
x = -1
Hence, the oxidation number of oxygen in peroxides is -1
Answer:
20
Explanation:
Hi there!
We need to find the atomic number of an atom that has 20 protons and 20 neutrons
the atomic number of an atom is equivalent to the amount of protons an atom has, as the number of protons determines what element an atom is.
Since the atom has 20 protons, the atomic number of the said atom is <u>20</u>
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
Explanation:
When you open a perfume bottle at a corner of a room, after a while, its fragrance can be perceived across a distance at the other end of the room. This is because, molecules of the compound in the fragrance have moved from the area of higher concentration in the perfume bottle, across a concentration gradient to a region of lower concentration at the other end of the room. This is diffusion.
