Is oxidation number the same as common ions?
No. Oxidation number is the same as oxidation state.
Most common oxidation number of combined oxygen?
the most common oxidation number for oxygen is -2.
What is the oxidation number for 1s22s22p63s22p5?
-1 will be the most common oxidation number
What is THE common oxidation number for tantalum?
It shows some oxidation numbers. Generally it shows +4 oxidation numbers.
What is the most common oxidation state of Gold?
Most common oxidation state of Gold is 0, because its most common form is its elementary form.
How oxidation and reduction occur in weathering?
Yes. Rust seen in a rock is an example of an iron bearing mineral oxidizing and chemically weathering the rock.
What does chemical and physical weathering have in common?
Physical weathering physically breaks down the rock, whereas chemical weathering breaks down the rock through chemical changes. For example, physical weathering could break down rock through ice wedging, which occurs when water seeps through the cracks in the rock, freezes, and expands, causing the rock to crack. Chemical weathering could be when oxidation (rusting) occurs, when metal is exposed to water and oxygen. Either way they both break down rock.
