Do transitionn metals have a consistent oxidation number?
transition metals have variable oxidation states
What is the oxidation number of non metals?
The oxidation number of non-metals can vary depending on the element and the compound it is in. Generally, non-metals tend to have negative oxidation numbers when they form compounds with metals, but they can also have positive oxidation numbers when they form compounds with other non-metals.
What are the oxidation numbers for the metal groups 1A 2A 3A?
Group 1 or alkali metals (+1 oxidation number). Group 2 or alkaline earth metals (+2 oxidation number).
Do all metals have two oxidation numbers?
No, not all metals have two oxidation numbers. Some metals may have multiple oxidation numbers depending on the bonding situation and the compounds they form.
How can the process of rusting be summarized?
Rust, oxidation, begins at the surface of iron or steel, and actually penetrates, changing the chemistry of an increasing portion of the metal, and weakening it as it progresses.*Rust usually refers, specifically, to the oxidation of iron. The general term, for all metals, is corrosion. Corrosion occurs with other metals as well, but the mechanisms and results differ according to the metals and the nature of the reactants involved.
Can metals have positive and negative oxidation numbers?
Yes, metals can have positive oxidation numbers when they lose electrons to form cations. However, metals typically do not have negative oxidation numbers since they usually do not gain electrons to form anions.
What are the oxidation numbers for this group?
The oxidation numbers for elements in Group 1A (alkali metals) are typically +1. For elements in Group 2A (alkaline earth metals), the oxidation number is typically +2.
Do metals have both positive and negative oxidation numbers?
No, the can only have positive oxidation numbers
What is the oxidation numbers of alkaline metals?
The question should be either 'alkali metals' or 'alkaline earth metals'. For alkali metals or group 1 elements, the oxidation number is +1 (note. hyddrogen can have +1 and -1). For alkaline earth metals, the oxidation number is +2 In addition all these elements will have an oxidation number of 0 in their elemental form
What are the three mechanisms in chemistry?
You think probable to synthesis, decomposition, oxidation.
What is the oxidation number for sulfur?
The oxidation number in atomic sulfur is 0. With other non metals, it produces many ions where its oxidation number varies from -2 to +6. The oxidation number of sulfide ion (which is produced usually with ions from metals) is -2.
Do all metals have a number in parentheses?
Not all metals have a number in parentheses. The number in parentheses typically indicates the oxidation state of the metal in a compound, which is relevant for transition metals that can exhibit multiple oxidation states. However, many metals, especially those in groups like alkali and alkaline earth metals, commonly have a fixed oxidation state and may not require such notation.
