No, oxygen will never have a -3 oxidation number. If it had a -3 oxidation number, it would not have a full octet. It would have a +1 charge, therefore making it not happy.
No.
If ever you have an odd number of negative numbers, the product will always be a negative number. So the answer to this question is negative.
There is no least whole number: the negative counting numbers go on for ever.
Chlorine exists in three main forms: Cl, Cl2, and Cl-. Cl is a single chlorine atom, Cl2 is a diatomic molecule of two chlorine atoms, and Cl- is a chloride ion with a negative charge. These different forms have varying reactivity and properties due to differences in electronic structure.
A real physical rectangle on a piece of paper . . . no. Mathematically . . . if one of the dimensions is a negative length, then the area is negative.
Yes! When the number is negative, the absolute value of it'll be its opposite.
negative*negative=positive negative/positive=negative negative\negative=positve negative-positive=change the sign to a plus and then change the number after the sign and get your answer negative +positive=which ever numbr is bigger minus positive+positive=positive
No, it cannot.
A negative plus a negative equals a negative because the operation you're doing is equivalent to subtraction. If you wrote down a sum "negative 3 plus negative 7" it would look like this: -3+-7 which is the same as -3-7 Whenever you add a negative number you are actually taking more away, and this is why a negative plus a negative equals a negative - You start with a negative number, and are taking even more away, so you will only ever end up with a negative number.
You can't. A number is not something you can change. A number just is.Take a nice number like (-2). (-2) Is now, always has been, and always will be a negative number. You can use it in mathematical expressions like (-2)*(-3), (which evaluates to a positive number, by the way), but nothing you can ever do or say will change what (-2) means.
No, because the maximum (largest) must be at least as big as the minimum (smallest).
