How does the mass per nucleon of an element change as the atomic number increases?
alex41 [277]

Answer:

Explanation: So, the atomic number is the number of protons present in an atom. For example, Helium's atomic number is 2, meaning it only has 2 protons. In most cases, the number of nuetrons and protons are equal, so Helium (usually) has 2 protons and 2 nuetrons - this is the nucleus. The atomic mass, or mass per nucleon is the proton and nuetron added together, so the atomic mass of Helium is about 4. Therefore, on the periodic table, as the atomic number increases by 1, the atomic mass increases by about 2 (the atomic mass is an average so it's not exact).

In the disproportionation reaction CI2 + H2Omc021-1.jpgHCIO + HCI, what describes the oxidation states of the substance Cl?
Sophie [7]
<span>Reaction: CI2 + H2O    ---->  HCIO + HCI

Oxidations states:

The oxitation state of Cl2 = 0, because the oxidation state of an atom alone or a molucule with one kind of atom is always 0.

The oxidation state of Cl in HClO is +1 because the oxidation state of H is + 1, the oxidation state of O is - 2, and the molecule is neutral, so  +1 + 1 - 2 = 0

The oxidation state of Cl in HCl is - 1, because the oxidation state of H is +1 and the molecule is neutral, so - 1 + 1 = 0.

Also, you shall remember that when an atom increases its oxidation state is is oxidized and when an atoms reduces its oxidations state it is reduced.

With that you conclude that the right option is the last statement: </span>Cl has an oxidation number of 0 in Cl2. It is then reduced to CI- with an oxidation number of –1 in HCl and is oxidized to Cl+ with an oxidation number +1 in HClO.
