The element that gains electrons, becomes reduced.
While the one which loses electrons, becomes oxidized.
In this equation,
CH₃OH + Cr₂O₇²⁻---- --> CH₂O + Cr³⁺.
By balancing the equation, we will get:
3CH₃OH + Cr₂O₇²⁻ + 8H⁺ --> 3CH₂O + 2Cr³⁺ + 7H₂O
Here the oxidation state of Cr changes from +6 to +3 that is it is being reduced thus serving as a oxidizing agent while other element retain their charges.
Here Cr₂O₇²⁻ is reduced while CH₃OH is oxidized.
So Cr₂O₇²⁻ serves as a oxidizing agent, while CH₃OH serves as reducing agent .
Answer:
.
Explanation:
Electrons are conserved in a chemical equation.
The superscript of 
indicates that each of these ions carries a charge of 
. That corresponds to the shortage of one electron for each 
ion.
Similarly, the superscript 
on each 
ion indicates a shortage of three electrons per such ion.
Assume that the coefficient of (among the reactants) is 
, and that the coefficient of (among the reactants) is 
.
.
There would thus be silver (
) atoms and aluminum (
) atoms on either side of the equation. Hence, the coefficient for 
and 
would be 
and 
, respectively.
.
The ions on the left-hand side of the equation would correspond to the shortage of electrons. On the other hand, the 
ions on the right-hand side of this equation would correspond to the shortage of 
electrons.
Just like atoms, electrons are also conserved in a chemical reaction. Therefore, if the left-hand side has a shortage of electrons, the right-hand side should also be electrons short of being neutral. On the other hand, it is already shown that the right-hand side would have a shortage of electrons. These two expressions should have the same value. Therefore, 
.
The smallest integer and that could satisfy this relation are 
and 
. The equation becomes:
.
Answer:
A physical property is a characteristic of a substance that can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the substance. Physical properties include color, density, hardness, and melting and boiling points. A chemical property describes the ability of a substance to undergo a specific chemical change.

John Dalton
Although the concept of the atom dates back to the ideas of Democritus, the English meteorologist and chemist John Dalton formulated the first modern description of it as the fundamental building block of chemical structures.
