Answer:

B: Pineapple imported by air from Costa Rica

Explanation:

Embodied energy is the total energy that is required for the extraction, processing, manufacture and transportation of materials to its intended usage destination.

This means highest embodied energy will be the work that demands the most energy for extraction, processing, manufacture and transportation of materials to its intended usage destination.

Looking at the options given, the one with the highest embodied energy will be "Pineapple imported by air from Costa Rica". This is because other options are done locally and thus will consume lesser energy and processing time unlike the pineapple that is coming from another country and by air.

A valid Lewis structure of IF3 cannot be drawn without violating the octet rule.

Answer: IF3 (Iodine Trifluoride)

This is because, I (Iodine) and F (Fluorine) both have odd number of valence electrons (7) which also means that there are too many valence electrons in the valence shell.

In a redox reaction, reduction is defined by the:
jonny [76]

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.
