Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The highest oxidation state for each of the elements from
Concept Introduction:
Oxidation number: It is the charge of the atom in a molecule if electrons were completely transferred. The oxidation state of free element is zero.
Oxidation: If electrons are moved from a species during a
Oxidizing agent: The substances that are capable to oxidize other species by accepting electrons from those species are called oxidizing agent which gets reduced during the process.
Effective nuclear charge: It is the charge experienced by the valence electrons from the nucleus. Effective nuclear charge increases across a period because increasing nuclear charge with no accompanying increase in shielding effect.
