What is true about atoms in helium gas?
They are helium atoms and have all the properties of helium. Helium is mono-atomic [as are all of the noble gases] Non-noble gases [those gases that react with other elements/compounds] are diatomic meaning that in the gaseous state the atoms are paired on to another.
Which of these elements has an oxidation state of -1?
fluorine
How is an unknown oxidation state of an element within a compoud determined?
In a compound the sum of oxidation states of the elements contained is zero.E1 + E2 + ... = 0If you know the oxidation states of the elements E1... you can calculate the oxidation state of the element E2.
Is element oxidation state a physical or chemical properties?
The element oxidation state is a chemical property: it is zero for all elements.
Which is negative oxidation state in 13 group elements?
Boron
What is the oxidation state in lone elements and atoms in gases?
The oxidation state of any lone element is zero.
How does copper oxide reacting with hydrogen to form copper and water involve oxidation?
In this reaction, the copper ions in copper oxide are reduced to copper atoms, and the hydrogen atoms in elemental hydrogen are oxidized from the zero oxidation state characteristic of all pure elements to the +1 oxidation state of hydrogen atoms bound into water molecules.
What element contains atoms that form colored ions and have more than one positive oxidation state?
Transition elements
What is the oxidation number of pure elements?
all the pure elements have zero oxidation state.....
What is the oxidation states of atoms in a diatonic gas?
The oxidation state is zero.
What is true about atoms in helium gas?
They are helium atoms and have all the properties of helium. Helium is mono-atomic [as are all of the noble gases] Non-noble gases [those gases that react with other elements/compounds] are diatomic meaning that in the gaseous state the atoms are paired on to another.
How are the atoms of the elements in group 2 the same?
They share the same number of electrons (=2) in the valence shell: they have the same oxidation state of +2
What is the oxidation state of an individual carbon atom in kno3?
There are NO carbon (C) atoms in potassium nitrate (KNO3). B.t.w. atoms always have an oxidation state to be zero.
What is the oxidation state for 2I-?
The oxidation state of iron in two moles or atoms of elemental iron is zero. If you mean iron (II), the oxidation state is +2.
When a neutral atom undergoes oxidation the atoms oxidation state?
increases as it loses electrons
Which of these elements has an oxidation state of -1?
fluorine
What is the oxidation number of a element?
