The correct answer is A. The energy change that happens when a neutral atom gains an electron

Explanation:

In chemistry, an electron is a negatively charged particle that along with neutrons and protons form the atom and make an atom be positively charged, negatively charged or neutral. Additionally, electron affinity refers to the energy involved as in the transfer of electrons, especially as an atom that is neutral gains an electron and energy is released during this change. This occurs mainly in the gaseous state of atoms and implies the creation of bonds. Thus, electron affinity is the energy change as a neutral atom gains an electron (Option A).

Consider the statement: "Copper is a red-brown element obtained from copper sulfide ores by heating the ores in air, which forms
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

1, just I) color.

Explanation:

Physical properties are the properties that can be observed without changing the composition of a substance, such as color, temperature, density, and boiling point.

A physical change is a change in the substance that only modifies its aggregation state, such as solidification, and boiling.

Chemical properties are the properties that need a reaction to being observed, such as the combustibility, which needs a combustion reaction to being quantified.

When a chemical reaction occurs, and the composition of the substance change, it's a chemical change.

So, the heating copper with carbon is a chemical reaction, and purification by electrolysis is too. Color is the only physical property.
