Why do elements such as PN and S have posotive oxidation numbers in some compounds but negative in others?
The oxidation number of an element can vary depending on the compound it is a part of. This is due to differences in electronegativity and bonding patterns with other elements in the compound. In some compounds, elements like phosphorus (P) and sulfur (S) may have positive oxidation numbers because they lose electrons to form cations, while in other compounds, they may have negative oxidation numbers by gaining electrons to form anions.

Is an electron positive or negative?
think of this protons/protine you need protine so its posotive neutron neuteral you know what that means and electrons electrick it hurts like hell if you touch it so negetive
Is carbon very reactive or is it non reactive?
Carbon is not considered very reactive compared to elements like sodium or chlorine. It can form bonds with other elements, but it generally requires more energy to react than highly reactive elements.
How do electronegativity values determine the charge distribution in a polar in a polar covalent bond?
Electronegativity values indicate the tendency of an atom to attract electrons in a chemical bond. In a polar covalent bond, the atom with a higher electronegativity will attract the shared electrons more strongly, leading to an uneven distribution of charge. This results in a partial negative charge on the more electronegative atom and a partial positive charge on the less electronegative atom.
Sodium chloride is made up of a posotive sodium ion and a negative chloride ion therefore. it is an example of?
Sodium chloride is an example of an ionic compound, where positively charged sodium ions are attracted to negatively charged chloride ions in a crystal lattice structure. This type of bonding results from the transfer of electrons between the atoms, leading to the formation of a stable compound with a neutral overall charge.
Why an iron ion is attracted to a sulfide ion but not to a zinc ion?
Both the iron ion and the zinc ion carry positive charges while the sulfide ion carries a negative charge. Like charges repel each other, opposite charges attract each other.
Does an electron have a posotive charge?
Negative.
Is a negative divided by a negative a posotive?
Negative divided by a negative is always a positive.

Can the absolute value of a be posotive or negative?
It can be either.

What does the x axis define or label?
posotive/ negative numbers
What happens when you subtract a negative from a posotive?
Subtracting a negative is like adding a positive; the result will be positive.
Does pride cause jealousy?
Pride is posotive and jealousy is negative.
The product of two posotive numbers or two negative numbers is?
The product of two positive numbers or two negative numbers is a positive number.
Is 5 to the negative 2 a posotive or negative number?
5^-2 can be expressed as; 1/5^2 = 1/25 positive
