Which of the following requires an oxidizing agent?

1 answer:

3 0

Correct Answer: First Option

An oxidizing agent causes the oxidation of the other atom/element by itself being reduced. In simple words we can state that oxidizing agent gains electrons from the other atom/element i.e. the other atom loses electrons.

From the given options we have to find in which of them electrons are being removed. When the electrons are removed, the number of protons in the atom will be more than the number of electrons. As a result the net charge on the atom will be positive.

First option lists such a change. Initially charge on Al is neutral, 3 electrons are removed and it get +3 charge. This shows that Al is being oxidized, so it needs an oxidizing agent.

Select the single best answer. Which mechanism properly shows the movement of electrons in the reaction? 2xsafari

sweet [91]

Answer:

Explanation:

We must study the reaction pictured in the question closely before we begin to attempt to answer the question.

Now, the reaction is a free radical reaction. This implies that only one electron is transferred. The transfer of one electron is shown using a half arrow rather than a full arrow. The both species are radicals (odd electron species) and contribute one electron each.

Hence we must show electron movements in both species using a half arrow.

Why was there no reaction in some of the wells?

What’s the full question? Imma say the depth of the wells are different and therefore some have oxygen all the way to the bottom!

Matter that is made up of only one kind of Atom

sveta [45]

Answer:

elements

Matter that has only one kind of atom is called an element. Gold, copper, oxygen, and mercury are examples of elements. Most matter is made up of two or more different kinds of atoms that are chemically combined. This kind of matter is called a compound.
