sladkih [1.3K]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The least electronegative elements in the center of lewis structures because an atom in the central position shares more of its electrons than does a terminal atom. Atoms with higher electronegative are generally more reluctant to share their electrons.

Could someone explain what oxidation numbers are and what these questions are asking of me?
Oxana [17]

The oxidation state, sometimes referred to as oxidation number, describes the degree of oxidation of an atom in a chemical compound.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The oxidation number of an atom is the charge that atom would have if the compound was composed of ions. 1. The oxidation number of an atom is zero in a neutral substance that contains atoms of only one element. The oxidation number of simple ions is equal to the charge on the ion.

The oxidation number of a mono atomic ion equals the charge of the ion. The oxidation number of H is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electro negative elements. The oxidation number of O in compounds is usually -2, but it is -1 in peroxides. The oxidation number of a Group 1 element in a compound is +1.

For the reaction 2A + 4B ----&gt; 2C + 2D, at a particular instant in time, the rate of the reaction is 0.0352 M/s. What is the
viva [34]

Explanation:

The given chemical equation is:

2A + 4B -> 2C + 2D

The rate of the reaction is 0.0352 M/s.

During the course of the reaction, the rate of reactants decreases, and the rate of products increases.

The rate of disappearance of B is shown below:

rate=-\frac{1}{4} \frac{d[B]}{dt}

So, rate of change of B is :

rate of change of B =- rate * 4\\=-0.0352 M/s * 4\\=-0.1408M/s\\\\=-0.141M/s

Option C.
