In silica (SiO2), each silicon atom is bonded to
two oxygen atoms
four oxygen atoms
one silicon and two oxygen atoms
one silicon and four oxygen atoms
In the equation
CrO + SO
the oxidation number of Cr changes from
+6 to +4
+6 to +3
+8 to +4
+4 to +3
B.
+6 to +3
Let the oxidation number of Cr be x in CrO.
x + 4(-2) = -2
x = 6
and in Cr(OH) the oxidation number of Cr is y
y + 4(-2) + 4(1) = -1
y - 8 + 4 = -1
y = 3
Hence, oxidation number of Cr changes from +6 to +3.
