<u>The correct answers are </u>

  • An atom of oxygen and the ion of oxygen both have 8 protons.
  • As you add or remove neutrons from the nucleus, isotopes are formed.

Answer: Options A and D

<u>Explanation:</u>

An isotope of an element is formed by varying their number of neutrons and not on changing the number of electrons or protons. Similarly, an atom can be  converted into an ion by adding or removing one or more electrons.

So the number of protons will not be changed for becoming an ion. Thus, the correct answers are that an atom of oxygen and ion of oxygen will be having 8 protons. Similarly, an isotope formation is possible on addition or removal of neutrons from the nucleus. All other options are not true as there will be no change in the number of electrons for isotope formation.

artcher [175]

Answer:

E. Gain of electrons

Explanation:

A reduction reaction is one part of the two concurrent reactions that take place in a redox (reduction-oxidation) reaction.

During reduction, an atom gains electrons from a donor atom, and it's oxidation number becomes smaller.

Option A is wrong because reduction does not increase oxidation state nor are neutrons involved

Option B is wrong because reduction is not a nuclear reaction (does not involve the nucleons)

Option C is wrong because reduction leads to reduction in oxidation state

Option D is wrong leads to a reduction in oxidation state when electrons are gained

Option E is correct because reduction involves gain of electrons
