Chapter 18, Problem 18.67SP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Either CrO or Cr2O3 is more basic has to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Basic character of different oxides of the same element increases with decreasing oxidation number of an element.

Oxidation number: Oxidation number is defined as degree of oxidation (ie. loss of an electrons) of an atom within the chemical compound.

There is slightly difference between oxidation state and oxidation number.  In oxidation state, there is electronegativity of an atom in a bond should be considered.  However, when describing oxidation number, electronegativity does not considered.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Either SnO or SnO2 is more basic has to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

Basic character of different oxides of the same element increases with decreasing oxidation number of an element.

Oxidation number: Oxidation number is defined as degree of oxidation (ie. loss of an electrons) of an atom within the chemical compound.

There is slightly difference between oxidation state and oxidation number.  In oxidation state, there is electronegativity of an atom in a bond should be considered.  However, when describing oxidation number, electronegativity does not considered.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Either As2O3 or As2O5 is more basic has to be identified.

Concept Introduction:
