Hey there!:
H is always +1 so the H's have a +3 charge.
O is always -2 so the O's have a -8 charge .
Now, suppose oxidation state for P = X , then :
+3 + X + (-8) = 0 (because of neutral molecule)
x = 8 - 3
x = + 5
So, X = +5 oxidation state.
Answer C
Hope that helps!
Answer:
Electrons can jump from energy level to energy level (for example energy level 1 to 2) but they can NEVER be found in between energy levels.
The radius of the anion is 7.413 nm
<h3>How to calculate the force of attraction between charges</h3>
The force of attraction (F) is given by the formula:
- F = (1/4π∈r²)(Zc*e)(Za*e)
where:
∈ = permittivity of free space = 8.85*10⁻¹⁵ F/m
Zc = charge on the cation = +2
Zc = charge on the anion = -2
e = charge on an electron = 1.602 * 10⁻¹⁹ C
r = interionic distance
r = rc + ra
where rc and ra are the radius of the cation and anion respectively
F = 1.64 * 10⁻⁸ N
Therefore based on the equation of force of attraction:
1.64 *10⁻⁸ = [1/4π(8.85*10⁻¹⁵)r²](2 * 1.602*10⁻¹⁹)²
r² = 5.63 * 10⁻¹⁷
r = 7.50 nm
Since r = rc + ra
where rc = 0.087 nm
thus, ra = r - rc = 7.50 - 0.087
ra = 7.413 nm
Therefore, the radius of the anion is 7.413 nm
