How do electronegativity values determine the charge distribution in a polar in a polar covalent bond?
In a bond if the electronegativity is stonger in an atom then it gains a negative charge and the atom with the weaker electronegativity gains a posotive charge.
What is the oxidation number of ZnCl?
The compound has no charge. This means that the positive oxidation numbers must equal the negative oxidation numbers. Cl has an oxidation number of -1. Therefore, Zn must have an oxidation number of +1.
How do oxidation numbers determine if an element is a metal or a nonmetal?
Generally, metals attain positive oxidation numbers only. Non metals can have either positive or negative oxidation states. If an oxidation number is a negative value, it can be deduced that it's a non metal element.
What is the sum of all oxidation numbers in any compound?
The oxidation number of oxygen in most compounds is -2.
In the compound Ni2O3 nickel's oxidation number is and oxygen's oxidation number is -2?
In the compound Co2O3 cobalt has an oxidation number of 3 while oxygen has an oxidation number is -2.
Is their any compound of zinc in which zinc have negative oxidation state?
No, there is no such compound
Is there any compound of manganese in negative oxidation state and if exist then formulae?
no, it does not exist
A positive or negative number that is assigned to an element to show its combining ability in a compound is?
Oxidation Number
How do electronegativity values determine the charge distribution in a polar in a polar covalent bond?
In a bond if the electronegativity is stonger in an atom then it gains a negative charge and the atom with the weaker electronegativity gains a posotive charge.

How do oxidation numbers determine if an element is a metal or a nonmetal?
Generally, metals attain positive oxidation numbers only. Non metals can have either positive or negative oxidation states. If an oxidation number is a negative value, it can be deduced that it's a non metal element.
An is a positive or negative number assigned to an element to show its combining ability in a compound?
oxidation number
What constitutes a polar bond?
A polar bond is one in which there is a difference in electronegativity. One side/end of the compound is more negative (partial negative charge; higher electronegativity) than the other (partial positive charge; less electronegative).
What is the sum of all oxidation numbers in any compound?
The oxidation number of oxygen in most compounds is -2.
How can one determine if a redox reaction will be non-spontaneous?
The reduction potential plus oxidation potential is negative.
Oxidation is a reaction in which a compound or molecule gains electrons thereby giving it negative character?
this statement is false!! ------------------------------------------------ Platoweb.com :)
What is the oxidation number for BaF2?
The compound has no charge. This means that the positive oxidation numbers must equal the negative oxidation numbers. 'H' always has an oxidation number of +1. There are three of these atoms in the compound giving +3. To cancel out this positive number, the 'B' must equal -3.
