#1: The element that loses electrons in a chemical reaction is said to have been which of the following? A. reduced

B. oxidized

C. combusted

D. rusted

**idk, is it reduced or oxidized??

Answer: oxidized. The element that loses electrons increases its oxidation number (becomes more positve or less negative) and this is oxidation.

Which type of reaction occurs if one element gains electrons and another loses electrons?

A. combustion

B. synthesis

C. oxidation-reduction

D. double-displacement

**my answer: C

Yes, oxidation-reduction

#3: What is the oxidation number for phosphorus in H4P2O7?

A. +5

B. +3

C. +1

D. - 1

**my answer: A. +5

This is the way to calculate it 4(+1) + 2x + 7(-2) = 0 => x = +5

#4: What is the oxidation number for phosphorus in Na2HPO3?

A. +5

B. +3

C. +1

D. - 1

**my answer; B. +3

is that right??

Right

2(+1) + 1 + x + 3(-2) = 0 => x = 6 -1 -2 = 3 (positive)

Answer:

For 1: The correct option is B.

For 2: The correct option is C.

For 3: The correct option is A.

For 4: The correct option is B.

Explanation:

For 1:

There are two types of reaction based on the basis of exchange of electrons.

The reaction in which an element gain electrons is considered as reduction reaction and the species gets reduced in the reaction.

The reaction in which an element looses electrons is considered as oxidation reaction and the species gets oxidized in the reaction.

Hence, the element which looses electrons in a chemical reaction is said to have been oxidized. So, the correct option is B.

For 2:

Combustion reaction are the chemical reactions in which a hydrocarbon is decomposed to carbon dioxide and water in the presence of oxygen.

Synthesis reaction is the chemical reaction in which two or more compounds combine to form a larger molecule by releasing some by-products.

Oxidation-reduction reaction is the chemical reaction in which one element gains electrons and another element looses electrons. This reaction is known as redox reactions.

Double displacement reactions are the chemical reactions in which exchange of ions takes place.

Hence, the correct option is C.

For 3:

Oxidation number is the number given to an element in a chemical compound which represents the number of electrons lost or gained by that element.

Oxidation number of hydrogen = +1

Oxidation number of oxygen = -2

Oxidation number of phosphorous in $H_4P_2O_7$ is:

$4(+1)+2x+7(-2)=0\\\\x=+5$

Hence, the correct option is A.

For 4:

Oxidation number is the number given to an element in a chemical compound which represents the number of electrons lost or gained by that element.

Oxidation number of Sodium = +1

Oxidation number of oxygen = -2

Oxidation number of Hydrogen = +1

Oxidation number of phosphorous in $Na_2HPO_3$ is:

$2(+1)+1+x+3(-2)=0\\\\x=+3$

Hence, the correct option is B.

Steve traveled the first 7 hours of his

const2013 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Distance traveled in 2 hours = 2 * 40 = 80 m

Distance traveled in 3 hours = 3 * 80 = 240m

Total distance covered = 240 + 80 = 320m

Total time = 2 + 3 =5 h

Hence avg speed = total distance covered / total time taken

= 320/5 = 64mph

Illusion [34]

Answer:

1. A bond where electrons are transferred from one atom to another, resulting in charge imbalance in each atom is called ionic bonding.

2. A bond where electrons are equally shared, resulting in equal numbers of electrons orbiting each atom is called non-polar covalent bond.

3. A bond where electrons are unequally shared, resulting in more electrons orbiting certain atoms than others is called a polar covalent bond.

4. A bond where the electronegativity differences between the atoms within a molecule result in the partially positive atoms of one molecule attracting the partially negative atoms of other molecules is called polar bond and it is part of the covalent bonds.

Explanation:

1. In ionic bonding process, electrons are enterely transferred from one atom to another either losing or gaining negatively charged electrons, and the reacting atoms form ions. A charge imbalance is caused then by the oppositely charged ions, when attracted to each other by electrostatic forces, the basis of the ionic bond.

2. A non-polar covalent bond is occurs when two atoms have same electron afinity to share their electrons equally. The closer the values of their electron affinity, the stronger the attractionis. This is created in diatomic elements or gas molecules.

3. A polar covalent bond is a type of chemical bond where two electrons are unequally shared between two atoms, electrons are not equally shared because one atom spends more time with the electrons than the other atom, resulting in more electrons orbiting certain atoms than others.

4. The polar bond is a type of covalent bonds. This bonds depends on atoms´electronegativity differences. If an atom is less electronegative, it means that the electron distribution or charge is unevenly distributed or polarized and then it becomes partially positive.
