Answer:
The combination of oxygen with other substances to produce new chemical products is called <u>Oxidation</u>.
Explanation:
Oxidation reactions are defined as,
In terms of Inorganic chemistry:
(i) <u>Removal of Electrons: </u>
Example: Mg → Mg²⁺ + 2 e⁻
(ii) <u>Addition of Oxygen:</u>
Example: 2 Mg + O₂ → 2 MgO
In terms of Organic chemistry:
(i) <u>Addition of Electrons: </u>
Example: Cl₂ + 2 e⁻ → 2 Cl⁻
(ii) <u>Addition of Hydrogen:</u>
Example: H₂CCH₂ + H₂ → H₃CCH₃
The answer to this question would be: alkaline earth metal
Alkali earth metal is the second column group of the periodic table. In this group, the element has 2 extra electrons in their outer cells. That is why most of this metal has 2+ charge.
Their neighbor is the alkali metal which was the first column of the periodic table. The name is similar so don't confused and mix them each other.
<span>The purpose of washing the product with NaOH is simply to
neutralize any acid which remained or leaked after the 1st initial
separation. The NaOH base reacts with the acid to form neutralization reaction products
which are soluble in water.</span>
