Where is uncombined hydrogen found?

Uncombined hydrogen can be found in the Earth's atmosphere, although it is rare. It is also found as molecular hydrogen gas (H2) in interstellar space and on the surfaces of gas-giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn.


Are halogens the basis for all fossil fuels?

No, halogens are not the basis for all fossil fuels. Fossil fuels primarily consist of hydrocarbons, which are compounds made of hydrogen and carbon. Halogens, such as chlorine, fluorine, bromine, and iodine, do not play a significant role in the formation of fossil fuels.


Why are the halogens not found naturally in the earth's crust as the pure elements?

The halogens are not found naturally in the earth's crust as pure elements because of their extreme reactivity. Because the halogens are close to having completely filled electron shells, they will often react with other substances in order to gain an electron. As an especially noteworthy case, fluorine is the most reactive of the halogens (and elements in general), and will even react with glass. Therefore, the halogens are found naturally as compounds, not pure elements.


Does halogens have high or low reactivity?

Halogens have high reactivity because they have a strong tendency to gain an electron to achieve a stable electron configuration. This reactivity decreases as you move down the group from fluorine to iodine.


What are the elements fluorine chlorine bromine and iodine called?

These elements are typically called halogens, and they are found in Group 17 of the periodic table.

Oxidation number of an uncombined element?

The oxidation number of an uncombined element is zero. Uncombined elements, also known as elemental forms, have no charge and are considered to have an oxidation number of zero in their pure state.

What is the oxidation number for an uncombined atom?

For an uncombined atom, the oxidation number is 0. It does not give away any electrons. It does not accept electrons from anywhere either.


What does uncombined mean concerning gold?

Uncombined gold refers to gold that is in its pure form without being combined with any other elements or minerals. It is typically found in nature as nuggets, veins, or dust. Uncombined gold is highly valued for its purity and rarity.
