<span>disproportionation is a type of redox reaction in which an element can undergo both oxidation and reduction.
Let's take a look at the choices:
First we have the oxide ion. Oxide ion has a charge of -2 which is the lowest charge that an oxygen atom can have. Therefore, an oxide ion cannot be further reduced, so this choice is not correct.
Next we have the peroxide ion. The oxygen has a charge of -1 which means it can be further reduced. So, this choice is acceptable
Last but not least, we have the superoxide ion. The oxygen has a charge of -1/2 which means it can be further reduced. So, this choice is also acceptable.
Based on this, we have two accepted choices which are b and c.</span>
<span>This is called "The capture theory" which states that the Earth's Moon was captured by the gravitational pull of our planet, meaning that it formed elsewhere, and then was pulle dinto place by the Earth, already formed. This would rely upon the ideas that a asteroid pased close enough to the Earth's orbit to be "captured".</span>
Answer:
Determining flammability can be as simple as holding a sample of the substance over a match. If it burns, it is flammable, leading to additional experiments to find more properties. Measuring the heat given off by the substance when it burns gives the heat of combustion.
Explanation:
Answer:
2 pairs (4 electrons)
Explanation:
In a molecule of oxygen there are 2 oxygen atoms. There are 6 electrons in the outer shells of oxygen atoms. When 2 oxygen atoms form a covalent bond they share their electrons. In a diagram this would be represented by the overlap of the two circles representing the outer shells of both oxygen atoms. If each oxygen atom 'puts forward' 2 electrons into the centre, then 4 will be shared overall for each atom, making both atoms have full outer shells of 8 electrons each. 4 electrons make 2 pairs, hence the answer.
