In evolutionary theory, adaptation is the biological mechanism by which organisms adjust to new environments or to changes in their current environment.
Because the Potassium ion loses an electron, the electrons come a little closer to the nucleus because they are attracted to the protons. This makes the ion smaller in radius
Saturated hydrocarbons consists of C-C single bond whereas Unsaturated hydrocarbons consists C-C double/triple bond.
Lithium is an element that has an electronic configuration of 2,1. So when forming bonds, it tries to release one of its electrons in the last shell to reach the octet state. Normally when atoms release electrons they get positive charge since the number of protons which bear positive charge, is higher than number of electrons which bear negative charge. So when reaching its octet state, lithium gains positive charge!
Hope this helps! Tbh am not good at explaining. If u have any doubts, ask me!
Explanation:
both reduction and oxidation are occurring simultaneously, this is known as a redox reaction. An oxidizing agent is substance which oxidizes something else. In the above example, the iron(III) oxide is the oxidizing agent. A reducing agent reduces something else
