A. True.
Very true. The quicker or slower the reactants are used up the faster or slower the rate of reaction, and the faster or slower the products are formed, the faster or slower the rate of reaction.
Chemical energy is converted to thermal energy.
Answer:
C. Its oxidation number increases.
Explanation:
- <em><u>Oxidation is defined as the loss of electrons by an atom while reduction is the gain of electrons by an atom</u></em>.
- Atoms of elements have an oxidation number of Zero in their elemental state.
- When an atom looses electrons it undergoes oxidation and its oxidation number increases.
- For example, <em><u>an atom of sodium (Na) at its elemental state has an oxidation number of 0. When the sodium atom looses an electrons it becomes a cation, Na+, with an oxidation number of +1 , the loss of electron shows an increase in oxidation number from 0 to +1.</u></em>
1) The trails left by an electron as it moves around the nucleus
The electron model dictates that the electrons have no fixed position so it traces their path.
2) 8
Atomic number is equivalent to proton number
3) Its mass is lowered, but it is still the same element.
The element's identity is due to the number of protons; however, neutrons play a large role in an atom's mass. Thus, the mass will decrease but the element will be the same. Such variants are called isotopes.
