<span>For this reaction, oxidation number of Carbon in
CO would be +2 while oxidation number of carbon in CO2 would be +4 and so this
means that carbon has oxidized. Oxidation number of nitrogen in NO is +2. While
oxidation number of nitrogen in N2 is 0 so this means that nitrogen had reduced.
The reducing agent is the one which provides electrons by oxidizing itself so
in this case; CO is the reducing agent while the C in CO oxidized to produce
electrons. </span><span>I
am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query about and it will be able
to help you, and if you’d like, feel free to ask another question.</span>
What are some of the body's internal defenses. The skin helps protect stuff to!
Answer:
it means positive and negative charges are equal.
Explanation:
An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.
All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.
when a neutral atom loses a electron positive charge is created because number of protons are positive charge becomes greater than negative charge.
X → X⁺ + e⁻
When a neutral atom accept the electron negative charge is created because negative charge is become greater than positive charge.
X + e⁻ → X⁻
