Why can't polyatomic ions ever stand alone?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Basile [38]3 years ago
7 0
The prefix "poly-" means "many," and "atomic" refers to atoms, so a polyatomic ion is made of 2+ atoms covalently bonded together. These ions are charged, which is why they can never stand alone.

matrenka [14]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Yes, this difference of readings will definitely affect the results of the experiment as well as the E values because the readings taken by both students are different from one another. There is a fault in one of the thermometer because both shows different readings of temperature of the same solution. This will affect the overall experiment and due to this error, we are unable to tell that which one reading is correct so the answer is uncertain or unsure.

Cu2 -> Cu2+ is it getting oxidized?
KIM [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻  →  Cu   ( copper gets reduced )

Cu  → Cu²⁺ + 2e⁻ (  copper gets oxidized )

Oxidation:

Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

Consider the following reactions.

4KI + 2CuCl₂  →   2CuI  + I₂  + 4KCl

the oxidation state of copper is changed from +2 to +1 so copper get reduced.

CO + H₂O   →  CO₂ + H₂

the oxidation state of carbon is +2 on reactant  side and on product side it becomes  +4 so carbon get oxidized.

Na₂CO₃ + H₃PO₄  →  Na₂HPO₄ + CO₂ + H₂O

The oxidation state of carbon on reactant side is +4. while on product side is  also +4 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.

H₂S + 2NaOH → Na₂S + 2H₂O

The oxidation sate of sulfur is -2 on reactant side and in product side it is also -2 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.

A sample of krypton gas with a volume of 10.00 L has a temp of 303 K and exerts
marshall27 [118]

<u>Answer:</u> The final volume will be 14.85 L.

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the final volume when temperature increases, we use Charles' Law.

This law states that volume is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas if number of moles and pressure remains constant.

V\propto T\\\\\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}

where,

V_1\text{ and }T_1 = Initial volume and temperature

V_2\text{ and }T_2 = Final volume and temperature

We are given:

V_1=10L\\&#10;T_1=303K\\&#10;V_2=?L\\&#10;T_2=450K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{10L}{303K}=\frac{V_2}{450K}

V_2=14.85L

Hence, the final volume of the gas is 14.85L

How many electrons are in an Fe2+ ion?<br> (1) 24 (3) 28<br> (2) 26 (4) 56
fomenos
The answer is (1) 24. There are 26 protons in nucleus of Fe atom. There is 26 electrons in Fe atom. Fe atom loses 2 electrons and change to Fe2+ ion. So there is 24 electrons in Fe2+ ion.
