According to the Bronsted-Lowry theory, an acid is any substance (molecule or ion) that can transfer a proton (H+ ion) to another substance, and a base is any substance that can accept a proton.

Any substance that accept a proton by definition is considered to be BRONSTED LOWRY BASE.
Bronsted Lowry defined acid and base on the basis of donating or accepting protons. In the Bronsted Lowry classification of acid and base, an acid is defined as a substance which donate proton while a base is defined as a substance which accept proton.

What elements are being reduced and oxidized in this chemical formula?

dangina [55]

Answer: The element Na (Sodium) is getting oxidized and Hydrogen is getting reduced.

Explanation:

Oxidation reactions are the reactions in which addition of oxygen takes place.

Reduction reactions are the reactions in which loss of oxygen takes place.

For a given reaction:

$2Na(s)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow H_2(g)+2NaOH(aq.)$

Sodium is getting oxidized because there is an addition of reaction with that element.

Hydrogen is getting reduced because there is a removal of oxygen with that element.

The characteristics of two different types of reactions are shown downwards

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

Valence electrons are involved in Reaction B but not in Reaction A.

Explanation:

The description of reaction A in which protons are lost or gained by the atom of the element is a nuclear reaction. In nuclear reactions, the nucleons which are the protons and neutrons drives the reaction. No valence electrons in the orbiting shells are involved in this kind of reaction. During this type of reaction, an atom changes it identity to that of another.

Reaction B in which no identity change occurs is a chemical reaction. In chemical reactions bonds are formed by the atoms using the valence electrons that orbits round the central nucleus. The atoms remain the same but it chose to attain stability and an inert configuration by losing or gaining electrons.
