Answer:

E. Gain of electrons

Explanation:

A reduction reaction is one part of the two concurrent reactions that take place in a redox (reduction-oxidation) reaction.

During reduction, an atom gains electrons from a donor atom, and it's oxidation number becomes smaller.

Option A is wrong because reduction does not increase oxidation state nor are neutrons involved

Option B is wrong because reduction is not a nuclear reaction (does not involve the nucleons)

Option C is wrong because reduction leads to reduction in oxidation state

Option D is wrong leads to a reduction in oxidation state when electrons are gained

Option E is correct because reduction involves gain of electrons

Answer:

2.02 × 10²³ atoms

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the moles corresponding to 37.8 g of cadmium

To convert mass to moles, we need a conversion factor: the molar mass. The molar mass of cadmium is 112.41 g/mol.

37.8 g × 1 mol/112.41 g = 0.336 mol

Step 2: Calculate the number of atoms in 0.336 moles of cadmium

To convert moles to atoms, we need a conversion factor: Avogadro's number. In 1 mole of atoms of cadmium, there are 6.02 × 10²³ atoms of cadmium.

0.336 mol × 6.02 × 10²³ atoms/1 mol = 2.02 × 10²³ atoms

Ava and Eddy are discussing the difference between a species being extinct and an endangered species. Ava states that extinction
12345 [234]

In biology the term extinct is used for species which are no longer alive. so here Ava is correct because a species has died out and is not longer alive.

Endangered species are those which are on the urge of being extinct, means they are in danger so the term "endangered"

Ava can also elaborate the terms by taking examples

Dinosaurs are extinct species. They are no longer alive or not found in any part of world. So they are called as extinct.

The term can be used for animal or plant species.
