What oxidation number would you find on a metal ion and a non - metal ion?
A metal and a nonmetal would form an ionic bond. In an ionic compound, a metal ion would have a positive oxidation number equal to its ionic charge. A nonmetal would have a negative oxidation number equal to its ionic charge.Examples:NaCl oxidation numbers: sodium has an oxidation number of +1, chloride has an oxidation number of -1. So the overall charge of NaCl is zero.CaCl2 oxidation numbers: calcium has an oxidation number of +2, the chloride ion has an oxidation of -1. Since there are two chloride ions, the total negative oxidation number is -2, so CaCl2 has an overall charge of zero.
What would hydrochloric acid do if it come into contact with a metal such as magnesium?
Hydrochloric acid increases the rate of oxidation of a metal such as magnesium.
if rotation did not occur, one side of the earth would be continutally exposed to the?
Sun
If rotation did not occur one side of the earth would always be continually exposed to the?
The Sun
What is the oxidation number for Br in BrO3-?
If Br had an oxidation number of +7, the net charge on the ion would be +1, and not -1. Thus, the oxidation number for Br in BrO3- should be 5+.
Would an acid explode with metal?
An explosion doesn't occur.
What would you see if you were holding a metal that had luster?
If the metal had a metallic luster, on a freshly exposed, non-weathered surface, you would see a somewhat shiny, opaque surface.
If the formula of a metal phosphate is M3(PO4)4the forits metal chloride will be?
Based on the formula of M3(PO4)4, that would mean the M has an oxidation number of 4+, so the metal chloride would take the form of MCl4
What happens when metal tarnishes?
Not usually an issue generally people want to stop rusting not not stop it. Salt water, heat and oxygen would probably work quite well. It would also rust faster if it had an increased surface area. Possible problems include the sacrificial metals that will be oxidised preferentially or metals with insoluble oxides being present in the sample that would protect the iron component.
What Would happen if you had uranium in a enclosed container and exposed it to a large amount of electricity?
Being a metal Uranium would conduct electricity.
What is the Hydrogen oxidation number?
It largely depend on what H is bonded with. Usually, its +1, however, in the case of metal hydrides, it would be -1.
If a lightning strike were to strike a swimming pool how far away could you stand without being hurt?
It is possible. The places where that could occur would be in an outdoor pool that has exposed metal or in an indoor pool with a glass door, window or ceiling.
