Answer:
Explanation:
The formula of the reaction:
KClO₂ → KCl + O₂
To assign oxidation numbers, we have to obey some rules:
- Elements in an uncombined state or one whose atoms combine with one another to form molecules have an oxidation number of zero.
- The charge on simple ions signifies their oxidation number.
- The algebraic sum of all the oxidation number of all atoms in a neutral compound is zero. For radicals with charges, their oxidation number is the charge.
The oxidation number of K in KClO₂:
K + (-1) + 2(-2) = 0
K-5 = 0
K = +5
The oxidation number of K in KCl:
K + (-1) = 0
K = +1
The oxidation number Cl in KClO₂ is -1
For Cl in KCl, the oxidation number is -1
For O in KClO₂, the oxidation number is (2 x -2) = -4
For O in O₂, the oxidation number is 0
K moves from an oxidation state of +5 to +1. This is a gain of electrons and K has undergone reduction. We then say K is reduced.
O moves from an oxidation state of -4 to 0. This is a loss of electrons and O has undergone oxidation. We say O is oxidized.
Answer:
A and 3
B and 2
C and 1
Explanation:
<em>Ion</em>ic bonding is the transfer of electrons from a cat<em>ion</em> to an an<em>ion</em>.
Covalent bonding is the sharing of electrons between nonmetal atoms.
<em>Metallic</em> bonding is the sea of electrons <em>metal </em>cations.
Hope this helped!
1. O2 is not a compound because it only contains one or more type of the same element atom.
2. O2 is a molecule because a molecule is one or more of the same element atom.
3. The law of conversion is that the mass of the system will stay the same when transfer takes place. Like if you had an equation O+H2—> H2O the mass will remain the same.
4. It will be equal to 10 because of law of conservation of matter.
5. One observation can be that the compound, reaction you’re observing, has change states.
