<u>Answer:</u> Electrons are taken up by and they are lost by
<u>Explanation:</u>
Redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction take place simultaneously. It is also called the reaction where the exchange of electrons takes place.
An oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a chemical species loses electrons takes place. In this reaction, the oxidation state of a substance gets increased.
A reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a chemical species gains electrons takes place. In this reaction, the oxidation state of a substance gets reduced.
For the given chemical reaction:
The half-reactions for this redox rection follows:
<u>Oxidation half-reaction:</u>
<u>Reduction half-reaction:</u>
Hence, electrons are taken up by and they are lost by
<u>Answer:</u>
The mass of the atom depends on the sub atomic particles present in the nucleus of an atom.
That is, the protons and the neutrons.
Electrons are present around the nucleus and the mass is negligible since its mass is very very less.
<em>mass of a proton = </em>
<em>mass of a neutron = </em>
<em>mass of an electron = </em>
Mass number represents the mass of one particular isotope and it is a whole number for example,
Mass number is 13 and atomic number is 6 for the carbon isotope C-13.
Atomic mass is different from mass number and it is a fraction since it is the average atomic mass of all the isotopes of an atom.
Atomic mass of C is 12.011 amu which we see in the periodic table is the average atomic mass of isotopes C-12, C-13 and C-14.
