Answer:

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

<h3>How are elements named?</h3>

Elements have been given names based on a variety of factors, <u>including their characteristics</u>, the compound or ore from which they were extracted, the method by which they were found or acquired, mythical characters, locations, and well-known individuals. Some components have <u>names that are descriptive and are based on one of their attributes.</u>

The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry chooses the official element names and symbols (IUPAC). However, different nations frequently use similar names and symbols for elements. Official names and symbols for elements are not given until after their discovery has been confirmed. The discoverer may then suggest a name and a symbol.

There are name standards for several element groupings. Names of halogens end in -ine. All noble gas names, save helium, end in -on. The names of most other elements finish with -ium.

What is the electronic configuration of Au3+?

Anettt [7]

Answer:

$AU^{3+} : [Rn] 5f^3$

Explanation:

Writing electronic configuration of any element you should know atomic number of that element ,

and also electrons are filling according to their energy level and first electron is filled in the lower energy orbital

and it follows n+1 rule if n+1 is same for two orbital electron will go first in the lowest value of n.

writing electronic configuration of ion can be done like first for their neutral atom and then add or remove electron it will make things easy because there are also some eception case their you may do wrong.

$AU : [Rn] 5f^3 6d^1 7s^2$

remove three electron from outer most shell of AU

$AU^{3+} : [Rn] 5f^3$
