Well I'm sure many a time you've seen on some science experiment someone wrap a copper wire around a nail well thats generally the idea for electromagnets you get a solid piece of iron which is the only metal that is magnetic and you wrap a copper wire around it and the idea is to make two opposing magnetic poles by aligning the molecules with a electrical charge (a battery) so now with all three pieces assembles you have a copper wire attached to two sides of a battery and wrapped around a nail
Answer:
<em>Protons:
</em>
- Positively charged particle
- The number of these is the atomic number
- All atoms of a given element have the same number of these
<em>Neutrons: </em>
- Isotopes of a given element differ in the number of these
- The mass number is the number of these added to the number of protons
Explanation:
Protons (<em>positively charged</em>), neutrons (<em>neutral</em>) and electrons (negatively charged) are smaller than an atom and they are the main subatomic particles. The nucleus of an atom is composed of protons and neutrons, and the electrons are in the periphery at unknown pathways.
The <em>Atomic number</em> (Z) indicates the number of protons (
) in the nucleus. Every atom of an element have the <em>same atomic number</em>, thus the <em>same number of protons</em>.
The <em>mass number </em>(A) is the sum of the <em>number of protons</em> () <em>and neutrons</em> (N) that are present in the nucleus: <em>A= Z + N</em>
<em>Isotopes</em> are atoms of the <em>same element </em>which nucleus have the <em>same atomic number</em> (Z), and <em>different mass number (A)</em>, it means the <em>same number of protons</em> () and a <em>different number of neutrons</em> (N). For example, the oxygen in its natural state is a mixture of isotopes:
99.8% atoms with A= 16, Z=8, and N=8
0.037% atoms with A=17, Z=8, and N=9
0.204% atoms with A=18, Z=8, and N=10
If matters mix and it doesn’t make a material it’s called physical change. But, if maters are mixed and they do make a material it’s called chemical change.
Answer:The 1st and 2nd reactions are the example of oxidation -reduction.
Explanation:
Oxidation is basically when a species loses electrons and reduction is basically when the species gains electrons.
A reaction is known as an oxidation -reduction reaction only if oxidation and reduction simultaneously occur in the reaction. It basically means if a species is getting oxidized in the reaction then the other species present in the system must be reduced in the reaction.
Oxidation-reduction reactions are also known as redox reactions.
In the 1st reaction the oxidation state of Na in reactant is 0 and in products is +1 hence Na is oxidized and the oxidation state of chlorine is 0 in reactants and in products is -1 so chlorine is reduced. Hence Na is oxidized and Cl is reduced so the reaction is a example of oxidation-reduction.
2Na(s)+Cl₂(g)→2NaCl(s)
In the second reaction the oxidation state of Na in reactant is 0 and in products is +1 hence Na is oxidized and the oxidation state of Cu is +1 in reactant and 0 in products so Cu is reduced. Hence Na is oxidized and Cu is reduced so the reaction is an example of oxidation-reduction.
Na(s)+CuCl(aq)→NaCl(aq)+Cu(s)
In the third reaction the oxidation state of Na changes from +1 to +1 and that of Cu also changes from +1 to +1. So there is no change in oxidation state of the species present in reactants and products. Hence this reaction is not an example of oxidation and reduction.
