Answer:

C. Gain in electron(s) resulting in a decrease of oxidation number.

Explanation:

Redox reactions are reactions involving transfer of of electron between two species (reduction specie) and (oxidation species) and change resulting in change in oxidation number.

Reduction in terms of redox reaction is the specie that accepts electron(s) and gets "reduced" since its oxidation state has been reduced.

For example

Cl + e- → Cl⁻

The above reaction is an example of reduction reaction taking place in a redox reaction. We can see that Chlorine oxidation state was changed from (0) to (-1) state.

Answer:

Gas to Solid

Explanation:

A condensation reaction goes from gas to solid

Condensation is a physical change which alters the physical properties of matter particularly the form and state. In a condensation reaction, a gas goes from solid to liquid.

It is the inverse of the sublimation reaction.

  • It involves the loss in energy by a gas.
  • When gases lose energy, they become pulled together by attractive forces.
  • This changes their state to solid with enough loss in energy.

What is the term for the smallest bit into which a chemical substance can be divided and still have the properties of that subst
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Molecule

Explanation:

molecule of the substance.  You can break the molecule down further, into the atoms that make it up, but those don't have the properties of the original  'compound'.

Here's an example:

-- Sodium is a soft, slippery metal, that explodes when water touches it.

-- Chlorine is a poisonous green gas.

When an atom of Sodium and an atom of Chlorine combine, they make one molecule of a substance called "Sodium Chloride".  That's SALT !  It isn't green, it isn't a gas, it isn't poisonous, it isn't soft and slippery, and it doesn't explode when water touches it.
