Answer:
Electrolytes are chemicals that break into ions (ionize) when they are dissolved in water. The positively-charged ions are called cations, while the negatively charged ions are called anions.
Strong electrolytes completely ionize in water. This means 100% of the dissolved chemical breaks into cations and anions.
Weak electrolytes partially ionize in water. Pretty much any dissociation into ions between 0% and 100% makes a chemical a weak electrolyte, but in practice, around 1% to 10% of a weak electrolyte breaks into ions.
If a substance doesn’t ionize in water at all, it’s a nonelectrolyte.
Explanation:
[Co(NH₃)₅Br]²⁺
Ligands and charges on them,
5 × NH₃ = 5 × 0 = 0
1 × Br⁻¹ = 1 × -1 = -1
Charge on sphere = +2
So, putting values in equation,
Co + (0)₅ - 1 = +2
Co + 0 - 1 = +2
Co - 1 = +2
Co = +2 + 1
Co = +3
Result:
Oxidation state of Co in [Co(NH₃)₅Br]²⁺ is +3.
The number of protons and neutrons combined in an atom is called the mass number.
