Answer : The electrons are gained and the oxidation number of chromium decreases.
Explanation :
As we know that a redox reaction is a reaction in which the oxidation and reduction takes place simultaneously.
Oxidation reaction : The reaction where a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.
Reduction reaction : The reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.
The balanced half reaction will be :
In this reaction, the oxidation number of 'Cr' changes from (+3) to (+2) that means 'Cr' gains 1 electron and it shows reduction or the oxidation number decreases.
Hence, the electrons are gained and the oxidation number of chromium decreases.
Answer:
Livermorium is a radioactive, artificially produced element about which little is known. It is expected to be a solid and classified as a metal. It is a member of the chalcogen group. Livermorium has four isotopes with known half-lives, all of which decay through alpha decay
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
D) Li + N2
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- A decomposition reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which one reactant yields two or more products.
- <em><u>Lithium nitride undergoes thermal decomposition to produce Lithium and nitrogen gas. This reaction takes place at a temperature of 300° to 500°C in a vacuum.</u></em>
- The equation for the reaction is;
2Li3N(s) → 6Li(s) + N2(g)
Here we have to point out the necessary character of the substance needed which are used as lightning conductor.
The substance should have the following properties:
High electricity carrying capacity and less resistant.
High melting point
The substance should have high electricity carrying capacity or the resistance is less so that the electricity generated during the lightning easily conducted to the ground
The substance should have high melting point so that during lightning the generated high temperature cannot disrupt the material.
