A positive or negative number that is assigned to an element to show its combining ability in a compound is?
Oxidation Number
Name given to elements with more than one oxidation number?
The following elements have more than one oxidation number: Mercury, Chromium, Copper, Iron, Tin, and Lead. The ones with different oxidation numbers, also has a sort of name that goes with it. For example, Pb+4's name is actually "Plumbic".
What oxidation number would you find on a metal ion and a non - metal ion?
A metal and a nonmetal would form an ionic bond. In an ionic compound, a metal ion would have a positive oxidation number equal to its ionic charge. A nonmetal would have a negative oxidation number equal to its ionic charge.Examples:NaCl oxidation numbers: sodium has an oxidation number of +1, chloride has an oxidation number of -1. So the overall charge of NaCl is zero.CaCl2 oxidation numbers: calcium has an oxidation number of +2, the chloride ion has an oxidation of -1. Since there are two chloride ions, the total negative oxidation number is -2, so CaCl2 has an overall charge of zero.
What is the molar mass of an element with an average atomic mass of 9.012u?
9.012 grams, if the formula weight of the element is a single atom. This number would be multiplied by the subscript in the formula of a polyatomic element form.
What is the oxidation number of HClO?
Hydrogen's oxidation number is +1.Chlorin's oxidation number is +1.Oxygen's oxidation number is -2.
Oxidation number of ammonium?
The oxidation number of ammonium is 1+. The oxidation number of ammonium is 1+.
Would an atom of phosphorus gain or lose electrons when ionized?
If phosphorus forms a monatomic ion, it gains electrons and form a phosphide ion. More commonly, however, phosphorus forms a polyatomic anion including one or more oxygen atoms. The bonds within these polyatomic anions are covalent, but phosphorus is considered to have a positive oxidation number in such anions, and positive oxidation number corresponds to losing electrons.
How is charge related to oxidation number?
the charge on a mono-atomic ion is the same as the oxidation number, for a polyatomic ion the charge is the sum of the oxidation numbers of its constituent elements.
What is a positive oxidation number?
Positive oxidation number implies that electrons are generally lost by the element.
Why must oxidation numbers be assigned to the elements before writing a chemical formula?
The oxidation numbers of the elements in a chemical formula, some of which will be positive and others of which will be negative, when multiplied by the numbers of atoms with each oxidation number, must produce products that add to a net result of zero.
What is the sum of the oxidation numbers in the phosphate ion?
-3. The sum of oxidation numbers of the atoms in all polyatomic ion is the net charge - its part of the definition of oxidation number.
What kind of chemical bond forms diatomic atoms and polyatomic ions?
what is the oxidation number for phosphate
Why do elements with positive oxidation number easily combined with those having a negative oxidation number?
Elements with positive oxidation number easily combined with those having a negative oxidation number because opposite oxidation number attracts each other.
Why do elements with a positive oxidation number easily combine with those having a negative oxidation number?
Elements with positive oxidation number easily combined with those having a negative oxidation number because opposite oxidation number attracts each other.
What is the oxidation nu?
Oxidation number is oxidation states of an element. It can be positive or negative.
What is the oxidation number of Be?
oxidation is charge and it would be positive two in a ionic bond (that is what is referring to in oxidation number)
What is the oxidation number of MN in 2MnO4-?
I assume you mean the oxidation number of Mn in the permanganate ion , MnO4- The sum of the oxidation numbers is the charge on a polyatomic ion so Mn has an oxidation number of +7 as each O is assigned -2.
