Element’s oxidation number decrease that because that element has received electrons from another element

Explanation:

a reduction in oxidation state is known as a reduction. Such reactions include the formal removal of electrons: a net gain in electrons moving a reduction, and a clear loss of electrons being an oxidation.

An oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction is a type of synthetic reaction that involves a transfer of particles between two species. An oxidation-reduction reaction is any synthetic reaction in which the oxidation number of a molecule, atom, or ion quarters by winning or missing an electron.

Rashid [163]

Answer:

Ocean Currents

Explanation:

The correct answer is Ocean currents.

When the earth receives solar radiation, a large fraction of this incident radiation is usually absorbed by the oceans and the seas, which become warm. Usually, equitorial regions are the ones that have this phenomenon. Now, when ocean currents are flowing from the equator, they usually carry this warm water with them thereby moving the greatest amount of heat from the equator on its way out.

For example, In the Pacific Ocean, there is a current known as Alaska Current that carries warm water in the northward direction thereby making Anchorage which is Alaska's largest city to have a much mild weather than the inland areas with the same latitude.

What is the formula for energy change?
rewona [7]

Answer:

Below:

Explanation:

To calculate an energy change for a reaction: add together the bond energies for all the bonds in the reactants - this is the 'energy in' add together the bond energies for all the bonds in the products - this is the 'energy out.
