B) Accurate is the right answer
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: yes, it's soluble in water.
Answer:
have the same number of protons
Explanation:
The number of protons in an atom determine what element it is. The number of electrons and neutrons can vary from atom to atom of the element, as long as all the atoms have the same number of protons.
