Oxidation is when a substance gains oxygen molecules. For example when hydrogen reacts with oxygen it forms H₂O. The H₂ has been oxidised.
Answer: option C. Copper (II) chloride
Explanation:
To name CuCl2, we need to know the oxidation state of Cu in the compound as chlorine always have oxidation on —1 in all its compound. The oxidation state of Cu can be calculated as follows:
Cu + 2Cl = 0 (since the compound has no charge)
Cl = —1
Cu + 2(—1) = 0
Cu —2 = 0
Collect like terms
Cu = 0 +2
Cu = +2
Therefore, the oxidation state of Cu in CuCl2 is +2.
The name of the compound will be copper(ii) chloride, since cupper has oxidation state +2 in the compound.
The product of the nuclear reaction in which 31p is subjected to neutron capture followed by alpha emission is ²⁸Al.
Nuclear
reaction: ³¹P + n° → ²⁸Al + α (alpha particle).<span>
Alpha decay is radioactive decay in which an atomic
nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus) and transforms
into an atom with an atomic number that is reduced by
two and mass number that is reduced by four.</span>
Nope. It is false. Temperature decreases as altitude increases.
