Determine the oxidation number of chlorine in CI2 with the steps

Chemistry
1 answer:
Elena L [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:  The oxidation number of chlorine in Cl_2 is zero

Explanation:

Oxidation number or oxidation state : It represent the number of electrons lost or gained by the atoms of an element in a compound.

Rules for Oxidation Numbers are :

1.  The oxidation number of a free element is always zero.

2. The oxidation number of a monatomic ion equals the charge of the ion.

3. The oxidation number of  oxygen (O)  in compounds is usually -2.

4. The oxidation number of a Group 17 element in a binary compound is -1.

5. The oxidation number of  Hydrogen (H)  is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electronegative elements.

6. The sum of the oxidation numbers of all of the atoms in a neutral compound is zero.

7. The sum of the oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion is equal to the charge of the ion.

As Cl_2 exists as a free molecule, its oxidation state is zero.

Do you think this one experiment is enough to change the scientific theory regarding the speed of light?
devlian [24]

No. The speed of light does change. You mean speed of light in a vacuum. Measuring that value is elementary, in a 2-way measurement, as you show.

What is 2,100 in Scientific notation
Verizon [17]
It is 2.1 x 10^3 because your base number needs to be in between 1 and 10, and the number you are converting is non-decimal, so the exponent is positive. It is 10^3 because you are moving the decimal 3 places to the right

Orlov [11]

The best description of the process to draw the segment is B. b place a compass at one endpoint of the segment and trace an arc. do the same from the other endpoint. draw a line through the intersections of the arcs.

<h3>What is a segment bisector?</h3>

It should be noted that a segment bisector simply means a line to segment which cuts another line segment at the center but dividing the lines into two equal halves.

In this case, based on the information given, the best description of the process to draw the segment is to place a compass at one endpoint of the segment and trace an arc, do the same from the other endpoint. draw a line through the intersections of the arcs.

In conclusion, the correct option is B.
