Answer:

A. NO₃⁻ ⇒ +5

B. NO₄⁺ ⇒ +9

C. N₂ ⇒ 0

D. NH₂OH ⇒ -1

E. NO₂⁻ ⇒ +3

Explanation:

To calculate the oxidation number of an element in a compound, we have to know the oxidation number of the other elements. Then, we have to consider that the sum of the oxidation number of each atom multiplied by the subscripts is equal to the net charge of the compound.

A. NO₃⁻

This is the ion nitrate. Oxygen atoms (O) has an oxidation number of -2 because it derives from an oxide. In this case, the net charge of the ion is -1. Thus, we calculate the oxidation number of N as follows:

N + (3 x (-2)) = -1

N - 6 = -1 ⇒ N= -1 + 6 = +5

B. NO₄⁺

In this case, the sum of the oxidation numbers of O and N multiplied by the subscripts is equal to +1:

N + (4 x (-2)) = +1

N - 8 = +1 ⇒ N = +1 +8 = +9

C. N₂

The oxidation number of N is 0 because N₂ is an elemental substance.

D. NH₂OH

The oxidation number of H is +1 and -2 for O. The net charge of the molecule is 0.

N + (H x 3) + (O) = 0

N + (+1 x 3) + (-2) = 0

N + 3 -2 = 0 ⇒ N = 2 - 3 = -1

E. NO₂⁻

The net charge of the ion nitrite is -1.

N + (2 x O) = -1

N + (2 x (-2)) = -1 ⇒ N = -1 + 4 = +3

Therefore:

Highest oxidation number = B. NO₄⁺ (+9)

Lowest oxidation number = D. NH₂OH (-1)

A bond formed when atoms transfer elentron is a bond
lubasha [3.4K]
Ionic bonds involve a cation and an anion. The bond is formed when an atom, typically a metal, loses an electron or electrons, and becomes a positive ion, or cation. Another atom, typically a non-metal, is able to acquire the electron(s) to become a negative ion, or anion.

One example of an ionic bond is the formation of sodium fluoride, NaF, from a sodium atom and a fluorine atom. In this reaction, the sodium atom loses its single valence electron to the fluorine atom, which has just enough space to accept it. The ions produced are oppositely charged and are attracted to one another due to electrostatic forces.

Give two uses of compound under each of the following, in medicine and in industry​
NemiM [27]

Explanation:

#Medicine

Compounds used as medicines are most often organic compounds, which are often divided into the broad classes of small organic molecules (e.g., atorvastatin, fluticasone, clopidogrel) and "biologics" (infliximab, erythropoietin, insulin glargine),

#Industry

Polymers and plastics such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene terephthalate, polystyrene and polycarbonate

What energy is required to remove the remaining electron from singly ionized helium?
skelet666 [1.2K]

To remove one electron from singly ionized helium, will require approximately 54.4 eV or 8.72 1020 J of energy.

The amount of energy required by an isolated, gaseous molecule in the electronic state of the ground to absorb in order to discharge an electron and produce a cation has been known as the ionization energy. The amount of energy required for every atom in a mole to drop one electron is most often given as kJ/mol.

Anything that causes electrically neutral atoms and molecules to gain or lose electrons in order to become electrically charged atoms as well as molecules .

Therefore, the "To remove one electron from singly ionized helium, will require approximately 54.4 eV or 8.72 1020 J of energy."
