Answer:
(i) Oxidizing Agent: NO2 / Reducing Agent NH3-
(ii) Oxidizing Agent AgNO3 / Reducing Agent Zn
Explanation:
(i) 8NH3( g) + 6NO2( g) => 7N2( g) + 12H2O( l)
In this reaction, both two reactants contain nitrogen with a different oxidation number and produce only one product which contains nitrogen with a unique oxidation state. So, nitrogen is oxidized and reduced in the same reaction.
Nitrogen Undergoes a change in oxidation state from 4+ in NO2 to 0 in N2. It is reduced because it gains electrons (decrease its oxidation state). NO2 is the oxidizing agent (electron acceptor).
Nitrogen Changes from an oxidation state of 3- in NH3 to 0 in N2. It is oxidized because it loses electrons (increase its oxidation state). NH3 is the reducing agent (electron donor)
(ii) Zn(s) +AgNO3(aq) => Zn(NO3)2(aq) + Ag(s)
Ag changes oxidation state from 1+ to 0 in Ag(s).
Ag is reduced because it gains electrons and for this reason and AgNO3 is the oxidizing agent (electron acceptor)
Zn Changes from an oxidation state of 0 in Zn(s) to 2+ in Zn(NO3)2. It is oxidized and for this reason Zn is the reducing agent (electron donor).
Balanced equation:
Zn(s) +2AgNO3(aq) => Zn(NO3)2(aq) + 2Ag(s)
Answer:
An ionic bond essentially donates an electron to the other atom participating in the bond, while electrons in a covalent bond are shared equally between the atoms. Ionic bonds form between a metal and a nonmetal. Covalent bonds form between two nonmetals
Answer:
Nuclear Chain Reactions. A chain reaction refers to a process in which neutrons released in fission produce an additional fission in at least one further nucleus. This nucleus in turn produces neutrons, and the process repeats. The process may be controlled (nuclear power) or uncontrolled (nuclear weapons).

Answer:
.Periodic trends are specific patterns in the properties of chemical elements that are revealed in the periodic table of elements. Major periodic trends include electronegativity, ionization energy, electron affinity, atomic radii, ionic radius, metallic character, and chemical reactivity.
Answer:
it has a fixed volume it can also be compressed
Explanation:
a gases molecules don't move slow because they are not solid and are not compacted.
a gas does not have a fixed shape because there is nothing to hold its shape
