Is rotting horse manure a reduction reaction or an oxidation reaction?
Oxidation because it increases in charge (acidifies). That's why you use it on alkaline soils.
What do half reactions show?
They show the oxidation an reduction halves of a reaction
Why do nonmetals have a negative oxidation number?
non metals accept electrons. Hence they show a negative oxidation number (negative denotes that the element accepts electrons)
When sulfur burns what indicates a chemical chang has occurred?
The first indication is the fact that it is burning. The second is the incredibly foul odor caused by the oxidation in the endothermic reaction.
Why does chlorine have an oxidation number of 1?
Chlorine has 7 valence electrons and requires one more electron to complete the octet. Hence it has an oxidation number of -1. But, it should be noted that chlorine show positive oxidation numbers (up to +7) also in its compounds

why do alkali metals not show plus 2 oxidation state?
why do alkali metels not show +2 oxidation state
Show different types of soils with relevent pictures?
1.Red soil
Why is tropical red earth red?
The iron in the soil turns red when exposed to oxygen (oxidation). Although iron is common is most soils, oxidation (rusting) is much more pronounced in hot and wet climates.
What are the raw materials for oxidation?
Well, you generally need some atoms, which will have some electrons obviously. The movement of the electrons generally relates to a change in oxidation state, and hence the chemical process of oxidation (and reduction) has occurred.
When do halogens show 1 and -1 oxidation states?
When halogens bind to more electropositive elements (compared it itself), they show -1 oxidation state. When halogens bind to more electronegative elements (compared it itself), they show +1 oxidation state.
What do half-reaction show?
They show the oxidation an reduction half's of a reaction seperately
What do half-reactions show?
Type your answer here... The number of electrons transferred in the reaction
A positive or negative number that is assigned to an element to show its combining ability in a compound is?
Oxidation Number
Why Mn does not show an oxidation state 5 plus?
It is rarely, but manganese can show the valence 5+.
