Answer : It increases
Rusting is where oxygen binds to iron and forms iron oxide.
So once iron rusts, there is oxygen, just not in air; it's in the iron oxide.
All reactions are reversible, albeit at different rates (the "irreversible" ones are still reversible, but much slower given that they take so much collision luck and energy.
The correct answer is a metal atom forms a cation, and a nonmetal atom forms an anion. This is because metals are less electronegative than nonmetals and will therefore give electrons to nonmetals. Atoms that give up electrons will have a positive charge therefore becoming a cation while atoms that accept electrons will have a negative charge therefore becoming an anion.
Ions that have the same charge can't be attracted to each other since it takes a positive and negative charge to cause attractive forces.
A less electronegative atom will transfer electrons to a more electronegative atom.
A metal (cation) can pull electrons from another metal (not an ion) but that does not form an attractive force between the two metals (You will learn more about this when you go over reduction potentials, redox reactions, and electrochemistry).
I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
Explanation:
d. endothermic change as
heat is added to solid ice to change it to liquid water
Catalyst- chemical that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself being changed from the reaction. Enzyme- substance produced by a living organism that acts as a catalyst to bring about a particular biochemical reaction. Hope it helps.
