If I have a +2 oxidation number do I give up or accept electrons?​

Chemistry

sveticcg [70]3 years ago

Answer:

Give up 2 electrons.

Explanation:

Is this ever a good question!!!

Electrons have a minus charge

Protons have a plus charge.

You need to understand it thoroughly.  I used to explain it this way.

Suppose the protons and electrons are playing a game and the electrons commit a foul that leaves them with 2 men short.

That means there are 2 unguarded plus's around. The result is that the minuses have lost two men who are in the sin bin. (I watch a lot of hockey).

So a +2 means that the electrons have lost two of their players to penalties.

Put in the vocabulary of your question, you give up 2 electrons.

Explain why can two nonmetals bond together, but two metals cannot? A) Metals will only form covalent bonds. B) Nonmetals can sh
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer: C) Non-metals can share pairs of electrons and form covalent bonds

Explanation: The principal reason why it is non-metals that can form covalent bonds is because of their electronegativities. Electronegativity is the tendency of an atom to attract electrons towards itself.

The participating atoms in a covalent bond have to be able to hold the shared electron in place & it is this attraction towards the centre of each participating atom that holds the electrons in place. Metals aren't electronegative, they don't attract electrons towards each other, they'd rather even push the electrons away from themselves (electropositive) to be stable. The closest concept of metals to shared electrons is in metallic bonding, where metals push and donate their valence electrons to an electron cloud which is free to move around the bulk of the metallic structure. But this is nowhere near the type of bonding that exist in covalent bonds.

Ozone depleting chemicals are MOST
mina [271]

Ozone depleting chemicals are most likely belong to <u>halogen </u>group on the periodic table.

<h3>Ozone depleting chemicals are most likely to belong to which group on the periodic table?</h3>

Ozone depleting chemicals are the halogen group on the periodic table. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), halons, methyl bromide, carbon tetrachloride, hydrobromo-fluorocarbons and methyl chloroform. Fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, astatine and tennessine are the elements of halogen group elements. These elements greatly affected the ozone layer.

So we can conclude that Ozone depleting chemicals are most likely belong to halogen group on the periodic table.
