Gains. when theres a neutral atom it has an equal number protons and electrons(they all cancel which is what makes it neutral) so when it gains an electron there’s 1 more negative that doesn’t cancel so it changes the charge to negative.

Answer:

Gains

Explanation:

If it gains an electron it causes the atom to become negative since electrons are negative and an overall charge of an atom is neutral. Therefore, it would become negative.

Hope this helps :)

Why were chlorofluorocarbons first developed?

Sergio [31]

CFCs and their associated compounds were developed in the early 1900s as a non-toxic, non-flammable solution to other more dangerous products such as ammonia.

What is the volume that you should dilute 30mL of a 12.0M H2SO4 solution to obtain a 0.160M H2SO4 solution?

shutvik [7]

To solve this problem, the dilution equation (M1 x V1 = M2 X V2) must be used. The given values in the problem are M1= 12.0 M, V1= 30 mL, and M2= 0.160 M. To solve for V2,
V2=M1xV1/M2
V2= (12x30)/0.16
V2= 2,250 mL.
The correct answer is 2.25 L.

Which balanced equation represents a redox reaction? a. AgNO3(aq) +NaCl(aq) →AgCl(s) +NaNO3(aq) b. H2CO3(aq) →H2O() + CO2(g) c.

Aleks [24]

Answer : The correct option is, (D) $Mg(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow MgCl_2(s)+H_2(g)$

Explanation :

(A) $AgNO_3(aq)+NaCl(aq)\rightarrow AgCl(s)+NaNO_3(aq)$

This reaction is a double displacement reaction in which the cation and anion of two reactants are exchange their places to give two different products.

(B) $H_2CO_3(aq)\rightarrow H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)$

This reaction is a decomposition reaction in which the larger molecule decomposes to give two or more products.

(C) $NaOH(aq)+HCl(aq)\rightarrow NaCl(s)+H_2O(aq)$

This reaction is a neutralization reaction in which an acid and a base react to give a salt and water as a product.

(D) $Mg(s)+2HCl(aq)\rightarrow MgCl_2(s)+H_2(g)$

This reaction is a redox reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction occur simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction is the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this oxidation state increases.

Reduction reaction is the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this oxidation state decreases.

In this reaction, magnesium shows oxidation due to change in oxidation number from (0) to (+2) and hydrogen shows reduction due to change in oxidation number from (-1) to (0).

Hence, the correct option is, (D)
