Answer:

The correct answer choice to the question: Why is reduction the term used to describe the gain of an electron, would be: The electron acceptor´s net charge decreases.

Explanation:

In chemical reactions, especially those known as redox reactions, one substance, or molecule, in the presence of another, tends to give up an electron, donate it to another, and become oxidized. In the case of the molecule that accepts the electron we say that this molecule has become reduced  and this is because, as the accepting molecule takes in the charged electron, this one change in electron charges will upset the balance that existed before the exchange. The result is that the acceptor of the incoming electron will see a decrease in its net charge, thus becoming reduced.

Which sentence most clearly uses hyperbole?
Juliette [100K]

Answer: C

Explanation: hyperbole is exaggeration- a term that isn't technically true, it just kind of feels like it is because of the situation, like "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse," that sort of thing.

C is overreacting a little: "We will never be able to feel safe" ever again no matter what we do "unless we set a curfew." It's being dramatic to make the point that a curfew will help us feel more safe.

VARVARA [1.3K]
When communication occurs, it typically happens in one of three ways: verbal, nonverbal and visual. People very often take communication for granted. Communicators constantly exchange information, meaning people always seem to be either receiving or giving information.
