The oxidation number of H is -1.
Sum of the oxidation numbers in each element =
charge of the complex
CaH₂ has 1 Ca atom and 2H atoms. The charge of
the complex is zero. Let’s say Oxidation number of H is "a".
Then,
<span> (+2)
+ 2 x a = 0 </span>
<span> +2 + 2a = 0</span>
2a = -2
a = -1
Hence, the oxidation number of Hydrogen atom in CaH₂ is -1
<span>The number next to the simbol of the element ions (as a superscript) means the number of charges of the ion. For example N (+),, where (+) is a superscript means that the charge of the ion is 1+. S(2-), where (2-) is a superscript, means that the charge of the ion is (2-). OH (-), where (-) is a superscript, means that the charge of OH ion is (1-) . </span>
Answer:
TRUE
Explanation:
Humans and many animals are responsible for air pollution. Even natural processess such as excreting feces results in release of methane, CO2 etc which contribute to air pollution
Answer: A sodium atom has one electron in its outer shell. The atom is more stable if it has a full outer shell. A sodium atom can lose its outer electron. It will still have 11 positive protons but only 10 negative electrons.
