Chapter 18, Problem 18.21CP

a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The oxidation state of oxygen in each oxide and the oxidation state of the other element has to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Oxidation state:

As per the IUPAC definition, the charge of the atom is the oxidation state of an atom after ionic approximation of its heteronuclear bonds or it is a number assigned to an atom or an element which represents the number of electrons lost or gained.

b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The bonding nature of metal oxides has to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Covalent bond:

The bond which involves sharing of electrons between the atoms present in the molecule

Ionic bond:

The bond which involves transfer of electrons between the atoms present in the molecule

c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The acidic or basic nature of the oxides has to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Acid:

The substance which is capable of accepting a pair of nonbonding electrons and forms covalent bond

Base:

The substance which is capable of donating a pair of nonbonding electrons

d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The identity of the metal in the compounds (1) and (2) has to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Oxidation state:

As per the IUPAC definition, the charge of the atom is the oxidation state of an atom after ionic approximation of its heteronuclear bonds or it is a number assigned to an atom or an element which represents the number of electrons lost or gained.
