When is the oxidation state of a metal indicated in the name of a compound?
When the metal can exist in more than one oxidation state
When is the oxidation state or a mental indicated in the game of compound?
When the metal can exist in more than one oxidation state (apex)
What is the oxidation state of zinc in diethylzinc?
Zinc is in oxidation state +2 and oxygen in oxidation state -2. Zinc Oxide itself has not net charge/oxidation state.
What happens to atoms in an oxidation-reduction reaction?
The oxidation state of one atom increases while another decreases.
What is more likely oxidation state of Chlorine?
The most common oxidation state for chlorine is 1- (negative one).
When is the oxidation state of a metal indicated in the name of a compound?
When the metal can exist in more than one oxidation state
When is the oxidation state of a metal indicated in the name of a compuond?
The oxidation state of a metal is indicated in the name of a compound if and when that metal has more than one oxidation states. The oxidation state is then indicated by a Roman numeral placed in parenthesis next to the metal (Stock System).
When is the oxidation state or a mental indicated in the game of compound?
When the metal can exist in more than one oxidation state (apex)
Why do roman numerals used for ionic compounds?
They are used to tell you which oxidation state the particular metal has when bonding to the non-metal. This is only done when the oxidation state can be more than one value.
Why thallium has 1 oxidation state and gallium has 3 oxidation state?
its because of the d orbital which contain 10 electrons and push the s orbital inward i_e towards the nucleus so they are more attracted by nucleus and this is called poor shielding effect of d orbital... thus 6s2 are close to the nucleus these electrons are less available for bonding... this is known as inert pair effect... Note that both elemnst exhibit the +1 and +3 oxidation staes- in thallium the +1 is the more stable and in gallium the +3 is the more stable
What is the oxidation state of zinc in diethylzinc?
Zinc is in oxidation state +2 and oxygen in oxidation state -2. Zinc Oxide itself has not net charge/oxidation state.
What happens to atoms in an oxidation-reduction reaction?
The oxidation state of one atom increases while another decreases.
Is sulfur metal nonmetal or metalloid?
There is no known "sulfur metal". Sulfur is a nonmetal element, but in compounds with more electronegative nonmetals, such as oxygen, fluorine, and chlorine, sulfur can have a positive oxidation state.
What is more likely oxidation state of Chlorine?
The most common oxidation state for chlorine is 1- (negative one).
When naming a transition metal that has more than one oxidation number the numeric value of the oxidation number is indicated by a?
Roman Numeral
How might a gallium chip compare with a germanium chip?
Gallium is a metal, not a semiconductor. You cannot build a transistor or even a diode with a piece of metal, forget an IC chip containing several transistors.To create a gallium based semiconductor, it must be ALLOYED with one or more of the following elements: nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, or antimony. The simplest semiconductor alloys are: gallium nitride, gallium phosphide, gallium arsenide, and gallium antimonide. Examples of other semiconductor alloys are: gallium nitride phosphide, gallium phosphide arsenide, etc. (these are used in some types of LEDs).The most common gallium alloy semiconductor for making transistors and IC chips is gallium arsenide. Compared to both silicon and germanium, transistors made of gallium arsenide are significantly faster, and additional speed can be obtained by using nonsaturating logic circuits like ECL.
Does cadmium have more than one positive oxidation state?
Under normal conditions, +2 is cadmium's only positive oxidation state.
