By definition, the oxidation number of an atom is the charge that atom would have if the compound was composed of ions.
The oxidation number of simple ions is equal to the charge on the ion. The oxidation number of sodium in the Na+ ion is +1, for example, and the oxidation number of chlorine in the Cl- ion is -1.
Molar massof C6 H10 O5
= Sum of the atomic masses of six C atoms , ten H atoms & six O atoms
thus , substituting the required atomic masses of
C= 12 ,
H = 1 , &
O = 16 ,
we get ,
Molar mass of C6 H10 O5
= [ 6(12)+10(1)+5(16) ] u
= (72 + 10 + 80 ) u
=162 u
The electron is a subatomic particle, symbol e− or β− , with a negative elementary electric charge.
The electron has a mass that is approximately that of the proton.
So mass of electron =
