If element x forms the oxides xo and x2o3 the oxidation numbers of element x are

Chemistry
1 answer:
Deffense [45]2 years ago

Answer:

b) +2 and +3.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the molecular formulas:

XO

And:

X_2O_3

We can relate the subscripts with the oxidation states by knowing that they are crossed when the compound is formed, for that reason, we notice that oxygen oxidation state should be -2 for both cases and the oxidation state of X in the first formula must be +2 since both X and O has one as their subscript as they were simplified:

X^{+2}O^{-2}

Moreover, for the second case the oxidation state of X should be +3 in order to obtain 3 as the subscript of oxygen:

X_2^{+3}O_3^{-2}

Thus, answer is b)+2 and +3

Best regards.

Describe the changes in properties (from metals to nonmetals or from nonmetals to metals) as we move (a) down a periodic group a
defon

Answer:

Explanation:

The changes in properties from metals to non-metals on a periodic table can be measured and determined by the metallicity or electropositivity of elements.

Metallicity is a measure of the tendency of atoms of an element to lose electrons.

a.

Down a periodic group, metallicity increases.

b.

Across a period from left to right electropositivity or metallicity decreases.

Metals are found in the left part of periodic table and the most reactive metal sits in the lower left corner. Non-metals are towards the right side of the table.

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

No.

Las propiedades físicas de los materiales y sistemas a menudo se pueden clasificar como intensivas o extensivas, según cómo cambia la propiedad cuando cambia el tamaño (o extensión) del sistema. Según la IUPAC, una cantidad intensiva es aquella cuya magnitud es independiente del tamaño del sistema, mientras que una cantidad extensiva es aquella cuya magnitud es aditiva para los subsistemas. Esto refleja las ideas matemáticas correspondientes de media y medida, respectivamente.

Una propiedad intensiva es una propiedad a granel, lo que significa que es una propiedad física local de un sistema que no depende del tamaño del sistema o de la cantidad de material en el sistema. Los ejemplos de propiedades intensivas incluyen temperatura, T; índice de refracción, n; densidad, ρ; y dureza de un objeto.

Por el contrario, propiedades extensivas como la masa, el volumen y la entropía de los sistemas son aditivas para los subsistemas porque aumentan y disminuyen a medida que crecen y se reducen, respectivamente.  

Estas dos categorías no son exhaustivas, ya que algunas propiedades, físicas no son exclusivamente intensivas ni extensivas. Por ejemplo, la impedancia eléctrica de dos subsistemas es aditiva cuando, y solo cuando, se combinan en serie; mientras que si se combinan en paralelo, la impedancia resultante es menor que la de cualquiera de los subsistemas.

¡Espero haberte ayudado!  :)

Metals with ________ electron configurations characteristically form diamagnetic, square planar complexes.
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Diamagnetism , paramagnetism and ferromagnetism are terms which are used to describe the magnetic activity of transition metals. These terms helps to know the response the metal will have when placed in a magnetic field. These activities can be discerned from the d-block electronic configuration. If the number of electrons are even, this means they all form a pair and the metal is diamagnetic. If otherwise, there is an unpaired electron which causes the paramagnetic activity of the metal in magnetic field.

To the question, options A-D are diamagnetic but configurations with d8 are the ones that form square planar complexes

If you have 2.41 × 1024 atoms of copper, how many moles of copper do you have? If you have 2.41 atoms of copper, how many moles
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

4.00 moles

Explanation:

Avogadro´s number is 6.022 x 10²³ molecules, atoms, particles, etc.

Here we are talking of atoms of copper, so 1 mol of copper is equal to 6.022 x 10²³ atoms, and we only need to setup the proportion to find the number of mol in 2.41 x 10²⁴ atoms. ( Think of it like a dozen, avogadro´s is 6.022 x 10²³ )

( 1 mol copper/ 6.022 x 10²³ atoms of copper ) x  2.41 x 10²⁴ atoms

= 4.00 moles
