Oxygen is an element in the sixth group of the periodic table. This means it contains 6 electrons in its valence shell. Therefore, to complete its octet, it will prefer to gain two electrons rather than to donate 6. This is why its valency is -2. The relatively easy to achieve octet makes Oxygen a reactive element.

Four students provide their teacher with an explanation of why photosynthesis is considered a chemical change. Luke: Photosynthe
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

The best explanation was provided by the student Tara who said: "Through photosynthesis, the CO2 and water are changed into new substance, glucose, therefore it is considered a chemical change".

Explanation:

A chemical change is one which is not easily reversible and which results in the formation of new subsatances.

For example, in photosynthesis,a new substance, glucose is formed from the original substansubstances, carbon dioxide and water. Also, the reverse process of the formation of carbon dioxide and water from glucose is not easily obtained in plants.

From explanations provided by the students :

Luke does not give any explanation of the process but only an observation

Jackie's explanation does not state the main reason why a chemical change differs from a physical one.

Tara, gives the best explanation as the reason why a change that occcured is a chemical change is clearly stated.

Skyler does not state the main reason why photosynthesismis a chemical change as well, because even physical changes like evaporation of water involves solar energy.
