Answer:
Odd answer choices, but I would put "It shows you that water is a reversible reaction, which contains hydrogen and hydroxide reactions."
Explanation:
The first choice is weird, although water can be written as HOH that doesn't help you understand acids and bases.
The third choice doesn't do that either, and there are more ways for water to be formed than that.
The second choice helps you understand acids and bases, specifically, in water's self-ionization process. It also shows you that it is neutral because it is formed from Hydrogen, which is usually present in acids, and a Hydroxide group, which is usually present in bases.
Inevitable manufacturing imperfections in optical fiber leads to birefringence, which is one cause of pulse broadening in fiber-optic communications. Such imperfections can be geometrical (lack of circular symmetry), due to stress applied to the optical fiber and/or due to bending of the fiber.
Answer:
D is the answer may be. I'm not sure.
Answer:
+1
Explanation:
Na₂O₂
NOTE: the oxidation number of oxygen is always –2 except in peroxides where it is –1.
Thus, we can obtain the oxidation number of sodium (Na) in Na₂O₂ as illustrated below:
Na₂O₂ = 0 (oxidation number of ground state compound is zero)
2Na + 2O = 0
O = –1
2Na + 2(–1) = 0
2Na – 2 = 0
Collect like terms
2Na = 0 + 2
2Na = 2
Divide both side by 2
Na = 2/2
Na = +1
Thus, the oxidation number of sodium (Na) in Na₂O₂ is +1
Answer: X3+
Explanation:
Every atom aim to achieve stability by receiving electrons or giving their valence electrons in order to have a complete outermost shell of 2 (duplet) or 8 (octet structure).
In this case, the atom X will easily give off its three valence electrons to another atom(s), thereby forming a trivalent positive ion (X3+) with a stable duplet or octet structure (i.e an outermost shell with 2 or 8 electrons).
X --> X3+ + 3e-
Thus, due to the give away of three electrons (3e-), the atom X becomes X3+.
