What is the oxidation number of sulferin potash alum?
The sulfur in potash alum occurs in sulfate ions, which have the formula SO4-2. Since sulfur is less electronegative than oxygen, the oxygen has an oxidation number of -2; 4 atoms of oxygen give a total negative charge of -8, and the sulfur atom must have an oxidation number of +6 to match the -2 charge of the sulfate ion as a whole.
What charge is for sulfur?
Sulphur (also sulfur) is an element. It can be both uncharged and charged. In pure form sulfur is uncharged. As sulfide ions is has charge -2. In many molecules (like the amino acid custeine) and polyatomic ions (like the sulfate ion) sulfur does not have a formal charge, but can have many different states of oxidation.
What is the role of iron ions in oxygen transport?
In metalloproteins, metal ions are usually coordinated by nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur.
Ions with a 2 plus charge?
two elements with ions with a 2 plus charge are Sulfurand Oxygen
How are sulfide and sulfate elements different?
They are not elements, they are ions. A sulfide ion consists only of a single sulfur atom with two extra electrons, giving it a charge of -2. The sulfate ion consists of a central sulfur atom bonded to four oxygen atoms. It too has a -2 charge.
If gallium ions have a 3 charge and sulfur ions have a 2- charge the compound gallium sulfide is a. Ga2S3 b. Ga4S3 C. Ga3S2 d. Ga6S6?
It must be "a"
Is oxygen a negative charge?
As an element oxygen is neutral, but it forms negative ions.
What element do most of the polyatomic ions have in the formula?
Examples: oxygen, sulfur, carbon, phosphorus etc.
How are ions of sulfur different than atoms of sulfur?
Sulfur ions are sulfur atoms that have gained two electrons.
What is SnS2?
*Tin Sulfate* NO! This is WRONG!SnS2 is Tin(IV) Sulfide, not Tin SulfateThe (IV) means that Tin has a 4+ charge (can be Tin(II) with a 2+ charge or Tin(IV))Sulfur has a 2- charge, so it takes 2 Sulfur ions to balance out the chargesso you have 1 Tin Ion with a charge of 4+ and 2 Sulfur Ions with charges of 2+put them together and it makes SnS2Sulfate is a polyatomic ion with the formula SO4 with a 2- charge, so the formula for Tin Sulfate would be Sn(SO4)2
What kind of charge would the hydrogen have compared to the oxygen?
Hydrogen forms positive ions.
What is the oxidation number of SO2 in ions and compound?
In a whole, sulfur dioxide molecule has oxidation number 0. Sulfur has +4 oxidation number as it is bonded with two oxygen atoms through four covalent bonds. Oxygen atoms have oxygen number of -2 each.
