<h3>Answer:</h3>

            The Iron atom got oxidized.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

                        In inorganic chemistry Oxidation and Reduction reactions are defined as,

Reduction:

                 The reaction in which an atom accepts electrons is known as reduction reaction.

Example:

                                      2 Na  +  Cl₂    →     2 NaCl

In this reaction Chlorine oxidation state has changed from 0 to -1. Hence, it has gained one electrons therefore, it is designated as being reduced.

Oxidation:

                 The reaction in which an atom looses electrons is known as reduction reaction.

Examples:

                                      2 Na  +  Cl₂    →     2 NaCl

In this reaction Sodium's oxidation state has changed from 0 to +1. Hence, it has lost one electrons therefore, it is designated as being Oxidized.

                                       2 Fe + 3 O₂    →     2 FeO

In this reaction Iron's oxidation state has changed from 0 to +2. Hence, it has lost two electrons therefore, it is designated as being Oxidized.

How many moles are present in 3.4 x 1023 atoms of Na?
Andrej [43]
<h3><u>moles of H2SO4</u></h3>

Avogadro's number (6.022 × 1023) is defined as the number of atoms, molecules, or "units of anything" that are in a mole of that thing. So to find the number of moles in 3.4 x 1023 molecules of H2SO4, divide by 6.022 × 1023 molecules/mole and you get 0.5646 moles but there are only 2 sig figs in the given so we need to round to 2 sig figs. There are 0.56 moles in 3.4 x 1023 molecules of H2SO4

Note the way this works is to make sure the units are going to give us moles. To check, we do division of the units just like we were dividing two fractions:

(molecules of H2SO4) = (molecules of H2SO4)/1 and so we have 3.4 x 1023/6.022 × 1023 [(molecules of H2SO4)/1]/[(molecules of H2SO4)/(moles of H2SO4)]. Now, invert the denominator and multiply:

What type of bond is is formed when electrons move permanently from one atom to another upon reaction?
VLD [36.1K]
Ionic bonding would be the answer because they transfer electrons. This gives them a charge. If it loses electrons, it becomes an cation, with a positive charge. While if they gain an electron, they get a negative charge, and become a anion. Transferring an electron is losing or gaining, therefore your answer would be that since electrons are permanently being transferred, the answer is IONIC BOND.

Covalent bonds is a wrong answer because they share electrons, which gives them no charge (neutral). 

Also, metallic bonding is not the correct answer. 

So our final answer: A- Ionic bond
