The answer is false methane is emitted from coal
Answer:
c. F1-
Explanation:
In this chemical reaction the expression is:
HF + NaF → NaHF2
The ion that always keep the negative charge is the fluorine with a -1, if in this mixture there is more positive ions (H1+) the negative ion (F1-) will join with them.
Remember that also the Cl1- will be free, but the fluorine is more reactive than the fluorine.
Answer: 1+
Justification:
The ionization energies tell the amount of energy needed to release an electron and form a ion. The first ionization energy if to loose one electron and form the ion with oxidation state 1+, the second ionization energy is the energy to loose a second electron and form the ion with oxidation state 2+, the third ionization energy is the energy to loose a third electron and form the ion with oxidation state 3+.
The low first ionization energy of element 2 shows it will lose an electron relatively easily to form the ion with oxidations state 1+.
The relatively high second ionization energy (and third too) shows that it is very difficult for this atom to loose a second electron, so it will not form an ions with oxidation state 2+. Furthermore, given the relatively high second and third ionization energies, you should think that the oxidation states 2+ and 3+ for element 2 never occurs.
Therefore, the expected oxidation state for the most common ion of element 2 is 1+.
