Why Tendency to show plus 6 oxidation state diminishes from sulphur to polonium why?

The tendency to show a +6 oxidation state diminishes from sulfur to polonium primarily due to the increasing atomic size and the associated decrease in effective nuclear charge experienced by the valence electrons. As we move down the group in the periodic table, the heavier elements (like polonium) have more electron shells, which leads to increased electron shielding and a reduced ability to stabilize high oxidation states. Additionally, the relativistic effects in heavier elements can also influence their chemistry, making it less favorable for them to exhibit higher oxidation states like +6.

Does potassium have greater electronegative than bromine?

No, bromine has a higher electronegativity than potassium. Bromine is more electronegative because it has a greater ability to attract electrons in a chemical bond than potassium.

Why is hclo stronger than hclo2?

HClO is stronger than HClO2 because in HClO, the oxidation state of chlorine is +1, while in HClO2, the oxidation state of chlorine is +3. The higher the oxidation state, the weaker the acid. Additionally, the electronegativity difference between chlorine and oxygen in HClO2 is greater, resulting in a weaker bond and a weaker acid overall.


Why is silver a better conductor?

Because it has a higher oxidation density


Why lead oxide oxidizing?

Lead oxide can act as an oxidizing agent because it contains lead in a higher oxidation state (+2 for PbO) compared to metallic lead (0 oxidation state). This means that lead oxide has a greater tendency to donate electrons and get reduced, thereby oxidizing other substances in a chemical reaction.


In which substance does chlorine have an oxidation number of plus 5?

Chlorine has an oxidation number of +5 in compounds such as perchlorate (ClO4-). This is due to the electronegativity of oxygen, which causes chlorine to have a higher oxidation state in the compound.


What is better an AK-47 or a M-16?

The M16 has greater range than the AK, and a higher rate of fire. The ammunition weighs less, and has a greater wounding ability. The AK is simpler, and handles being dirty better than the M16.
