The oxidation number of H is -1.
Sum of the oxidation numbers in each element =
charge of the complex
CaH₂ has 1 Ca atom and 2H atoms. The charge of
the complex is zero. Let’s say Oxidation number of H is "a".
Then,
<span> (+2)
+ 2 x a = 0 </span>
<span> +2 + 2a = 0</span>
2a = -2
a = -1
Hence, the oxidation number of Hydrogen atom in CaH₂ is -1
Answer:
To monitor Pressure increase
Explanation:
the more pressure, the higher the production of the gas, which can be recorded, more pressure meaning higher production. Then vary the temperature.
Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Transmutation involves the conversion of one chemical element into another chemical element. This change occurs when an element or isotope passes through a number of reactions. It is a natural process and happens when there is a radioactive decay.
Hence, it is also a nuclear change as it occurs when there is a change in the nucleus of an atom. As this change can be due to the nuclear decay so as a result there will be some change in energy also. It is the process where one element converts into another using bombardment with high energy particles.
Thus, we can conclude that transmutation involves is a nuclear change.
