Answer:
That iron atom is oxidized. It loses two electrons.
Explanation:
Compare the formula of an iron atom and an iron(II) ion:
- Iron atom:
; - Iron(II) ion:
.
The superscript
in the iron(II) ion is the only difference between the two formulas. This superscript indicates a charge of
on each ion. Atoms and ions contain protons. In many cases, they also contain electrons. Each proton carries a positive charge of
and each electron carries a charge of
. Atoms are neutral for they contain an equal number of protons and electrons.
Protons are located at the center of atoms inside the nuclei. They cannot be gained or lost in chemical reactions. However, electrons are outside the nuclei and can be gained or lost. When an atom loses one or more electrons, it will carry more positive charge than negative charge. It will becomes a positive ion. Conversely, when an atom gains one or more electrons, it becomes a negative ion.
An iron atom
will need to lose two electrons to become a positive iron(II) ion
with a charge of
on each ion. That is:
.
- Oxidation is Losing one or more electrons;
- Reduction is Gaining one or more electrons.
This definition can be written as the acronym OILRIG. (Khan Academy.)
In this case, each iron atom loses two electrons. Therefore the iron atoms here are oxidized.

Answer:
Limited
Explanation:
For competition to exist within a population or between population, shared or common resources that organisms holds very important must be very limited and scared.
Competition is a struggle between organisms for limited resources in the ecosystem.
- It is an interaction between organisms in which one of them is harmed.
- Competition originates from limited supply of shared or mutual resources among organisms.
- When competition is between organisms from different population, it is called an interspecific competition.
- Competition between organisms within the same population, i.e of the same species is intraspecific competition.
