What happens if we oxidize a carboxylic acid?
During oxidation of a carboxylic acid carbon dioxide is released from the molecule.
How does the oxidation number indicate if an electron will be lost or gain by the bond in an atom?
Oxidation number describes gain of electrons. It involves addition of oxygen and removal of hydrogen.
When an electron moves from the outer shell of one element to the outer shell of another element what kind of bond has been created?
This is an ionic bond.
Oxidation is an example of?
Oxidation is a common example of a chemical reaction. It is commonly known as rust.Here is a more in-depth scope of oxidation.Oxidation is not truly a form of anything. Rather, it is a description of what occurs to a specific element involved in a chemical reaction. In a chemical reaction that deals with an oxidation of an element often requires the reverse state of another element known as reduction. This chemical reaction is known as an oxidation-reduction reaction, or redox reaction for short.What happens when an element in oxidation is relatively a simple concept. That is when an element is oxidized that element accepts electrons. Accepting electrons makes the element more negatively charged and usually leads to an anion (negative ion).The exact opposite occurs in the reduction of an element. This element is th one that acts as an acceptor of electrons thereby reducing its negative charge (making its charge more positive). This leads to two common routes - either the formation of a cation (positive ion) or simply reducing the element to its ground state (neutral charge).For an example of an oxidation-reduction reaction, let us consider cellular respiration. Our cells use glucose (C6H12O6) to release energy for the cell to function. In cellular respiration, the decomposition (breakdown) of glucose requires oxygen (that's why we need to breathe!!).The redox equation is as follows:C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2OIn this reaction, glucose's hydrogen is oxidized (formation of H+) and e- (electrons) is removed.The oxygen is reduced because it accepts the e- from the hydrogen. This results in the formation of O2-.The negatively charge oxygen and positively charged hydrogen then bond and create (instead of a ionic bond) a polar covalent bond. Those extra e- in oxygen are now shared though unequally.As for the carbon and oxygen from the glucose now combine in a covalent bond to form the carbon dioxide.In short, glucose is called the reducing agent because it donated the electrons and becomes oxidized. The oxygen is called the oxidizing agent because it accepts the electrons and becomes reduced.
What element does Scandium bond with the best?
Fluorine.
What shows an element's combining ability?
the oxidation numberChemical bond
What is the oxidation number of Be?
oxidation is charge and it would be positive two in a ionic bond (that is what is referring to in oxidation number)
How is the oxidation number related to the bond type?
its almost as the oxidation number rules you need to follow certain rules to determine the bond
Why are aldehydes more susceptible to oxidation whiles ketones are not?
The carbon-hydrogen single bond in an aldehyde group is weaker, and therefore easier to break during oxidation, than either carbon-carbon single bond to the carbon atom of a carboxyl group in a ketone.
What happens if we oxidize a carboxylic acid?
During oxidation of a carboxylic acid carbon dioxide is released from the molecule.
What chemical is not a bond?
All chemicals are held by chemical bond
What is a oxidation bond?
the bond in which electrons are lost or oxygen atoms are gained or hydrogen atoms are lost.
Is the element Ba an ionic bond?
It forms one, yes. The element in itself is not a bond.
What type of bond is carbon disulfide?
CH3CH2-SH oxidation------>
What type of bond has a combination of a group 2 element with a group 17 element?
Ionic bond.
Is silver an oxide?
No, it isn't. Silver Oxide is a compound. Silver is an element.
Which of these is an element of a bond Business?
An element of bond business is a face value similar to the principal amount of loan.
