Answer:

Oxidation reaction

Explanation:

Rust is formed when iron reacts with oxygen in moist air. The following chemical equation represents the reaction: 4Fe + 3O2 → 2Fe2O3. Water is necessary for the oxidation reaction to occur and to facilitate transport of the electrons

Your reaction
.. Fe + O2 ---> FexOy
for this reaction..
.. the Fe on the left is in the 0 oxidation state
.. the Fe on the right is in the +(2y/x) oxidation state
.. the O on the left is in the 0 oxidation state
.. the O on the right is in the -2 oxidation state
meaning
.. the O is reduced... . . (it's reduced in oxidation state)
.. the Fe is oxidized.. . .(oxidation state increased)
this is a REDOX reaction

*********
AND.. it's also a synthesis reaction.. (aka combination reaction)

214 Po goes under alpha decay what is the equation?
Katyanochek1 [597]
Alpha decay represents the forceful ejection of two protons and two neutrons from the nucleus of the parent atom. If 214 Po undergoes alpha decay, the equation would be:

214 Po ➡️ 210 Pb + 4 He + energy

Alpha decay is in the form of a helium nucleus, two protons and two neutrons.

What happens to wavelength as wave frequency increases?
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

As a wavelength increases in size, its frequency and energy (E) decrease. From these equations you may realize that as the frequency increases, the wavelength gets shorter. As the frequency decreases, the wavelength gets longer.
