What is the oxidation state of beryllium?
the oxidation state of beryllium is +2
What chemical weathering called oxidation causes and nbsp?
what chemical weathering called oxidation causes
What oxidation states can the alkaline earth metals exhibit?
0 and 2 oxidation states, and in some cases, 1 also
What scientific words can you use to describe burning?
Oxidation.
What element in the air does in the carbon in the charcoal combine with?
carbonated oxidation
What is removed in oxidation of alcohol?
OIL RIG. Oxidation is Loss, Reduction is Gain (of electrons, or of Hydrogen) Oxidation is gain of oxygen, reduction is loss of oxygen. In answer to your question, oxidation of a primary alkanol (alcohol) gives you an alkanal or aldehyde, and what is removed is an atom of H.
A chemical reaction that removes electrons from an atom is?
Oxidation: Example: two electrons removed from iron: Fe --> Fe2+ + 2e- two electrons removed from iodide: 2I- --> I2 + 2e-
How do you clean the oxidation off the zinc strip on a roof?
This will have to be sanded off. After the oxidation has been removed the strip should be sealed with a sealer.
What oxidation number?
'Oxidation number' and oxidation state are often used interchangeably. Oxidation state is a formal way of determining the degree of oxidation of an atom or ion or molecule; for ions the oxidation number is equal to the ionic charge. In non ionic compounds the most electronegative element is assumed to "own" the electrons. So in say InP which is a semiconductor and not ionic, the oxidation state of indium is +III and P is -III. Oxidation number is a convention used in complexes. Ligands are removed from the ion with all bonding electrons. Often the oxidation number and oxidation state have the same values but calculating the the oxidation number of N in ammonia, H is removed as hydride ion, H- you get the strange looking result of nitrogen with an oxidation number of +3. In contrast the oxidation states of N and H would be calculated as -III and +1

The number of electrons that are added or removed from an atom in a combined state to convert it to an elemental form?
oxidation number
An example of oxidation?
Hematite
Why do lead and tin have different oxidation numbers even they are not in the transition element area?
One rationalization is the "inert pair effect" - lead and tin have oxidation numbers of +2 and +4 . The inert pair effect also rationaliss the two oxidation numbers of +1 and +3 exhibited by gallium, indium and thallium. In compounds with the lower oxidation numebrs the s electrons are not removed.
The number of electrons that must be added to or removed from an atom in a combinded state to convert the atom into elemental form?
oxidation number
What molecule is produced in the citric acid cycle as a by product of glucose oxidation and is subsequently released into the bloodstream and carried to the lungs where it is removed from the body?
water
What is the name given to a reaction in which oxygen is removed from a compound?
This type of reaction is called a 'reduction'. (The opposite to 'oxidation')
What is the oxidation number of nh2 oh?
Ox(N)= -3
