I think the correct answer would be false. The atomic mass of chlorine does not represent the mass of the most common naturally occurring isotope of chlorine. The atomic mass of any compound is the average of the atomic masses of the naturally occurring isotopes of an element. <span />
Answer:
Mg.
Explanation:
- The oxidation-reduction reaction contains a reductant and an oxidant (oxidizing agent).
- An oxidizing agent, or oxidant, gains electrons and is reduced in a chemical reaction. Also known as the electron acceptor, the oxidizing agent is normally in one of its higher possible oxidation states because it will gain electrons and be reduced.
- A reducing agent (also called a reductant or reducer) is an element (such as calcium) or compound that loses (or "donates") an electron to another chemical species in a redox chemical reaction.
<em>Mg + 1/2O₂ → MgO.</em>
<em></em>
Mg is oxidized to Mg²⁺ in (MgO) (loses 2 electrons). "reducing agent".
O is reduced to O²⁻ in (MgO) (gains 2 electrons). "oxidizing agent".
An environmental scientist studies the environment - you can see that in the beginning of the sentence :)
Answer:
is that in a molecule of an element, all the atoms are the same. For example, in a molecule of water (a compound), there is one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms. But in a molecule of oxygen (an element), both of the atoms are oxygen.
Explanation:
Thomson's experiments with cathode ray tubes helped him to discover the electron (which Dalton did not know about). Dalton thought that atoms were indivisible particles, and Thomson's discovery of the electron proved the existence of subatomic particles.
