Answer:

Oxidation state] is defined as the charge an atom might be imagined to have when electrons are counted according to an agreed-upon set of rules:

The oxidation state of a free element (uncombined element) is zero for a simple (monoatomic) ion, the oxidation state is equal to the net charge on the ion.

Hydrogen has an oxidation state of 1 and oxygen has an oxidation state of −2 when they are present in most compounds. (Exceptions to this are that hydrogen has an oxidation state of −1 in hydrides of active metals, e.g. LiH, and oxygen has an oxidation state of −1 in peroxides, e.g. H2O2 the algebraic sum of oxidation states of all atoms in a neutral molecule must be zero, while in ions the algebraic sum of the oxidation states of the constituent atoms must be equal to the charge on the ion.

The same is written in my textbook. But how am I supposed to find the ox. number of an atom, which is in compound like K2UO4?

Let us calculate the structure of the electric shells of the Al atom. It has an atomic number of 13, so it has 13 electrons. The first 2 go to the first hell. The next 8 need to go to the second shell and the last 3 ones would go to the outermost shell. The outer shell, that is the most important one for chemical reactions, has thus 3 electrons. An atom always tries to have a completed outer shell (with either 2 or 8 atoms). It is easier for a cell to have a charge of +3 than a charge of -5 (smaller absolute value) and thus the Aluminum atom will try to get rid of the 3 electrons. In this process, it loses negative charge thus it will become positively charged. Hence, the correct answer is that it will prefer to lose 3 electrons and become positively charged.

5. Which of the following has variable composition<br>A. Water<br>B. sugar<br>C, soil<br>D. Salt​
erica [24]

Answer:

C. Soil

Explanation:

The choice with variable composition is the soil. Soil have many different composition.

  • Soil is made up of minerals, organic matter , water and soil air.
  • Soil minerals are derived from weathered bedrock materials that have been broken down into small pieces.
  • Organic matter is derived from dead and decaying materials from plants and animals.
  • All these materials combine together to form a soil.
