3 Carbon Atoms and 8 Hydrogen atoms
Answer:- Oxidation number of Cl does not change as it is -1 on both sides.
Explanations:- oxidation number of Mg on reactant side is 0 as it is in its elemental form(not combined with another element).
Oxidation number of hydrogen in its compounds is +1, so if H is +1 in HCl the oxidation number of Cl is -1 as the sum has to be zero.
On product side, Mg oxidation number is +2 as the oxidation number of alkaline earth metals in their compounds is +2.
Two Cl are present in magnesium chloride, so if Mg is +2 then Cl is -1.
Oxidation number of H on product side is 0 as it is present in its elemental for,
,
So, it is only chlorine(Cl) whose oxidation number does not change for the given equation.
Two subatomic particles that are located in the nucleus of an atom are Protons and Neutrons.
Matter is a slightly archaic word for something with mass, as in the conservation of matter (which must be paired with the conservation of energy to still hold true. Mass can be converted back and forth between energy, so therefore so can matter. Of course relativistic mass is conserved as it's a function of the energy of an object in that reference frame.
