Changes in matter occur every day. There are two types of ways matter can be altered; physically and chemically. Physical changes do not change the composition of the matter while chemical changes occur when one or more substances turn into a completely new substance. Physical changes can be seen through an altering of the substances physical property. A substances physical property is observed and measured without changing the composition of the subject. Descriptive words that would help to identify a substance’s physical property include hard, soft, brittle, flexible, heavy, and light just to name a few. Let’s say you’re eating, throughout the day your stomach starts to growl that is what happens when your stomach is digesting your food. Digestion is an example of chemical change. Chemical change happens every day and more than half the time we don’t realize it whether it’s metal starting to rust, or our food starting to rot. Physical change can happen when your popsicle starts to melt, or your water starting starting to boil. These are examples of physical change.

Answer:
The proton remains the same.
Explanation:
Oxidation is simply defined as the loss of electron(s) during a chemical reaction either by an atom, molecule or ion.
Oxidation is strictly on the transfer of electron(s) and not proton.
A metal that undergoes oxidation still has its protons intact otherwise it will not be called the ion of the metal since atomic number is called the proton number.
Sodium (Na) undergoes oxidation as follow:
Na —> Na+ + e-
Na is called sodium metal.
Na+ is called sodium ion.
Na has 11 electrons and 11 protons
Na+ has 10 electrons and 11 protons
From the above illustration, we can see that the protons of Na and Na+ are the same why their electrons differ because Na+ indicates that 1 electron has been loss or transferred.
An oxidation-reduction (redox<span>) </span>reaction<span> is a type of chemical </span>reaction<span> that involves a transfer of electrons between two species. An </span>oxidation<span>-reduction </span>reaction<span> is any chemical </span>reaction<span> in which the </span>oxidation<span> number of a molecule, atom, or ion changes by gaining or losing an electron</span>
Answer:
The grams of sodium chloride that will be made is 292.5 g. calculation. 2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCl. step 1: calculate the moles of Na. moles = mass/molar mass. From periodic table the molar mass of Na = 23 g/mol. moles = 115 g/23 g / mol = 5 moles. Step 2 : use the mole ratio to determine the moles of NaCl. Na:NaCl is 2:2 = 1:1 therefore the moles of NaCl is also = 5 moles.
Explanation:
We know sodium is a very active metal and chlorine is also a very reactive non-metal. Usually, metals like to eliminate electrons and non-metals such as halogens like to accept electrons. Sodium readily eliminate its last shell electrons become Na+ cation and chlorine accepts that electron to form Cl-anion.
