- The Properties, Reactions and Applications of Oxygen The electronegativity of oxygen and why it generally exhibits a negative oxidation state in compounds, give examples of compounds in which it exhibits its common oxidation state, a compound in which it exhibits a -1 oxidation state and a compound in which it exhibits a positive oxidation state (and explanation why this unusual oxidation state can happen). Give some reactions of dioxygen with hydrogen and Group 1 metals. Include balanced chemical equations for all examples.arrow_forwardWhy is there objection in the use of Hydrogen Sulfide in group cations?arrow_forwardNitrous acid is a weak acid. Would you expect solutions of nitrous acid and nitric acid, of equal concentration, to have the same pH? Explain.arrow_forward
- The chemical properties of the metallic elements can be considered as arising from the ability of the elements to lose electrons to form the electron sea that binds together the cations and accounts for metallic bonding. Explain the increase in metallic character down Group 14 in terms of periodic trends.arrow_forwardGive some examples of Metallic hydrides?arrow_forwardHow are ionic hydrides formed?arrow_forward
- A halogen (X2) disproportionates in base in several steps to X- and XO3-. Write the overall equation for the disproportionation of Br2 to Br2 and BrO3-.arrow_forward(a) (i) (ii) (iii) With the aid of a simple schematic, explain what covalent bonding is and how it is formed. What are the differences between a covalent bond and an ionic bond? Which type of bond is found in crystalline silicon? At room temperature do you expect an ionic crystal to be a good electrical conductor or a good electrical insulator? Explain why.arrow_forwardQu) Are The elements sodium, aluminum, and chlorine are in the same period? And give the right answer for the followings (a) Which has the greatest electronegativity? (b) Will the oxide of each element be acidie, basic, or amphoteric? 4) Why is it possible for an active metal like aluminum to be useful as a structural metal?arrow_forward
