Treatment of gold metal with brf3 and kf produces br2 and kauf4, a salt of gold. part a identify the oxidizing agent in this reaction.

The sum of the oxidation numbers in a neutral compound is always

An unknown substance has been shown to have weak covalent bonds. which of the following is most likely a property of this substance? a. high ph b. high conductivity c. low melting point d. low flammability

The image compares the arrangement of electrons in two different neutral atoms. a figure labeled atom q has a shaded sphere at the center of three concentric circles. the innermost circle has two black spheres. the middle circle has six black spheres. to the left of this figure is another figure labeled atom p. atom p has a shaded sphere at the center of three concentric circles. the innermost circle has two black spheres. the middle circle has seven black spheres. which of the following best explains the position of the two atoms in the periodic table? atom p has an estimated zeff of 7 and is therefore to the left of atom q, which has a zeff of 6. atom p has an estimated zeff of 7 and is therefore to the right of atom q, which has a zeff of 6. atom p has an estimated zeff of 5 and is therefore below atom q, which has a zeff of 4. atom p has an estimated zeff of 5 and is therefore above atom q, which has a zeff of 4.
