26
How does an ionic equation show chemical change?
by showing only the reacting ions and any other reacting atoms or molecules whilst leaving out the spectator ions
27
What is a half equation?
An ionic equations used to describe either the gain or loss of electrons during a relic reaction
28
What are oxidation numbers calculated on the basis of?
that bonding electrons are assigned to the more electronegative atom in covalent bond
29
The ionic half equations can be combined to give
full ionic equations
30
When writing a half equation for oxidation...
the electrons are seen on the RHS
31
When writing a half equation for reduction...
the electrons are seen on the LHS
32
When writing a half equation for complex compounds… what are some rules
"If reaction takes place in acid solution add H+ ions (LHS) + H20 (RHS) Balance atoms followed by charge to become neutral"
33
What is the oxidation number of uncombined elements ?
ZERO
34
What is the oxidation number for monatomic ions?
charge on the ion
35
What is the oxidation number for group 1 metals?
1+

2-
41
What is the oxidation number for oxygen in peroxide or superoxides?
depends
42
What is the sum of oxidation numbers in a neutral compound?
zero
43
What is the sum of oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion?
1-
44
Do all elements have fixed oxidation numbers?
no only some
45
How do metal elements form positive ions?
when their atoms react by loss of electrons with an increase in oxidation number
46
How do non-metal elements form negative ions ? The
when their atoms or molecules react by gain of electrons with a decrease in oxidation numbers
47
How are compounds of an element classified?
Into oxidation states
