Hi!
I think the oxidation state of all the atoms should change. :)
Hope this helps
Zn(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)
Oxidation means lose of electrons and increase of positive charge so the part which oxidized in this equation is Zn(s) because it converted to Zn²⁺ (i.e. lost two electrons)
Rutherford, Geiger and Marsden's experiment proved that every atom has a nucleus and that this nucleus is of positive charge and contains the most of the mass of the atom. 0.005% of the volume occupied by the electrons is the volume of the nucleus.
Answer:
The same number of atoms of each element must appear on both sides of a chemical equation. However, simply writing down the chemical formulas of reactants and products does not always result in equal numbers of atoms. You have to balance the equation to make the number of atoms equal on each side of an equation.
Explanation:
Methanoic acid has a molecular formula of HCOOH, when form an ester it's HCOO-, so the rest of the ester is -C4H9, a saturated 4 carbon chain. As shown in the attached diagram, there are 4 structural isomers, and the third isomer has 2 stereoisomers. So the answers is D:5.
