The fomula is NH4 (1+)
There are only two elements N and H.
As per oxidation state rules, the most electronegative element will have a negative oxidation state and the other element will have a positive oxidation state.
N is more electronative than H, so H will have a positive oxidation state and nitrogen will have a negative oxidation state.
You can also use the rule that states the hydrogen mostly has 1+ oxidation state,except when it is bonded to metals.
In conclusion the oxidation state of H in NH4 (1+) is 1+.
Now you must know that the sum of the oxidations states equals the charge of the ion, which in this case is 1+.
That implies that 4* (1+) + x = 1+
=> x = (1+) - 4(+) = 3-
Answer: the oxidation state of N is 3-, that is the option b.
Answer:
K8S4O16 or K8(SO4)4 depending on if the SO4 is supposed to represent sulfate or not
Explanation:
Find the molar mass of K2SO4 first:
2K + S + 4O ≈ 174 g/mol
Divide the goal molar mass of 696 by the molar mass of the empirical formula:
696 / 174 = 4
This means you need to multiply everything in the empirical formula by 4:
K2SO4 --> K8S4O16 or K8(SO4)4 depending on if the SO4 is for sulfate or not
the big number describes the number ratio in a chemical equation
so for example,
2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O means
2 moles of hydrogen reacts with one mole of oxygen to form 2 moles of water
and as you know, the small (subscript) number determines the number of atoms of that element in one molecule of a compound
so I believe that drawing a normal lewis structure ( O=O ) should be correct
Answer:
Option A
They are located near the equator
Explanation:
From the diagram, we can observe that all the rain forest zones occur near the equator.
This is because on an annual basis, the equator receives the highest concentration of solar radiation in the whole Earth. This implies that the rate of evaporation of water from the water bodies present is high, and consequently, the amount of rainfall is high also. This abundant sunshine and high rainfall leads to the growth of the tropical rain forests at those regions
The correct option is COVALENT BONDS.
A Lewis acid is defined as a substance which accept a pair of electron while a Lewis base refers to a substance that donate an unshared pair of electrons to another chemical specie with which it shared the donated pair of electrons.
Lewis acid and Lewis base react together to form salt and water. This type of reaction is called neutralization reaction. The neutralization reaction of Lewis acid and Lewis base involves electron pairs transfer, thus, there is an increase in the number of covalent bonds during this reaction.
