Answer:

${ \underline{ \sf{O _{2} \: is \: reduced}}}$

Explanation:

Reduction means when a reactant loses oxygen or gains hydrogen.

In the equation:

Hydrogen molecule, it neither gains nor loses hydrogen, but it gains oxygen. so :

${ \sf{H _{2} \: is \: excluded}}$

Oxygen molecule loses one oxygen atom, and gains four hydrogen atoms, hence it is reduced.

How does wind develop

avanturin [10]

It is caused by differences in the atmospheric pressure. When a difference in atmospheric pressure exists, air moves from the higher to the lower pressure area, resulting in winds that vary in speed. On Earth, air is also deflected by the Coriolis effect, except exactly on the equator.

Bombardment of cobalt-59 with a neutron produces a manganese-56 atom and another particle. What is this particle?A. an alpha par

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:A

Explanation:

A nuclear reaction is balanced by ensuring that the Masses and charges of te reactants and products are exactly balanced on the left and right hand side of the reaction equation. If there are 60 mass units on the LHS and manganese has only 56 mass units then four mass units are left. If there is no charge on a neutron and there is a charge of 27 on the cobalt, then two charges are left. Four mass units and a charge of +2 corresponds to a helium which is actually an alpha particle.
