Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The value of n and the empirical formula of
Concept introduction:
Empirical formula is defined as the formula in which proportions of elements are present in a compound rather than actual number of atoms.
Oxidation state is also known as oxidation number. It is defined as the numbers which are assign to the elements in a chemical combination and number represents the electrons which an atom can share, lose or gain to form
Therefore, transfer of electrons refers to the oxidation state.
