Answer:
The oxidation number of the metal decreases
2 Al + Fe₂O₃ → Al₂O₃ + 2 FeO
The metal element iron, is reduced from Fe⁺³ in Fe₂O₃ to Fe⁺² in FeO
Explanation:
When an element gains electron, the element becomes reduced, hence when a metal is reduced, the metal gains electrons, which reduces the oxidation number of the metal
An example of a metal being reduced is;
2 Al + Fe₂O₃ → Al₂O₃ + 2 FeO
In the above reaction, the iron (III) oxide is reduced to iron (II) oxide by aluminium metal.
Joules? i m not sure about this E Q U A S I O N
Answer:
The nucleus is the most densely compacted part of the atom, it is in the center circled by the electron cloud or shells. It is filled with positively charged protons, and neutrons which have no charge. It is smaller than the electron cloud in size, but in quantity it has more subatomic particles since protons and electrons are equal and the nucleus has nuetrons
