A is the answer I know bc I take biology
<u>Answer:</u> Non-metals form ions when they gain electrons.
<u>Explanation:</u>
An ion is formed when an atom looses or gains electron.
- When an atom looses electrons, it will form a positive ion known as cation.
- When an atom gains electrons, it will form a negative ion known as anion.
Metals are the elements which have a tendency to loose electrons and thus they form cations. <u>Example:</u> Sodium will loose 1 electron to form
ion.
Non-metals are the elements which have a tendency to gain electrons and thus they form anions. <u>Example:</u> Fluorine will gain 1 electron to form
ion.
Hence, non-metals form ions when they gain electrons.
Answer:
E) C₂H₄(g) + H₂(g) ⇒ C₂H₆(g)
Explanation:
Which ONE of the following is an oxidation–reduction reaction?
A) PbCO₃(s) + 2 HNO₃(aq) ⇒ Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) + CO₂(g) + H₂O(l). NO. All the elements keep the same oxidation numbers.
B) Na₂O(s) + H₂O(l) ⇒ 2 NaOH(aq). NO. All the elements keep the same oxidation numbers.
C) SO₃(g) + H₂O(l) ⇒ H₂SO₄(aq). NO. All the elements keep the same oxidation numbers.
D) CO₂(g) + H₂O(l) ⇒ H₂CO₃(aq). NO. All the elements keep the same oxidation numbers.
E) C₂H₄(g) + H₂(g) ⇒ C₂H₆(g). YES. <u>C is reduced</u> and <u>H is oxidized</u>.
Because when the orange frog eats the red fly the dye that make the fly red turns the frog red very slowly
