Which of the following does not describe elements?

2 answers:

The statement that does not describe elements would be that they can be separated by a chemical reaction. This is not the case, an element is a pure substance that can't be degraded into any other constituent that would form it. They are building blocks composed by atoms.

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Elements are defined as the substance which contain same type of atoms.

An element cannot be divided into simpler substances by any physical or chemical means.

For example, a piece of aluminium will contain only atoms of aluminium.

The periodic table contains all the elements present in nature.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options the statement they can be separated by a chemical reaction, does not describe elements.

In the reaction 2H2O (1)+ 2Cl^- (aq)= H2(g)+Cl2 (g)+ 2OH^-(aq), which substance is reduced?

Oksanka [162]

Answer:- C. H

Explanations:- Reduction is gain of electron. In other words we could say that decrease in oxidation number is reduction.

As per the rules, oxidation number of hydrogen in its compounds is +1(except metal hydrides) and the oxidation number of oxygen in its compounds is -2.

The oxidation number in elemental form is zero.

In $H_2O$ , the oxidation number of H is +1 and oxidation number of O is -2. Oxidation number of Cl in $Cl^-$ is -1. On product side, the oxidation number of hydrogen in $H_2$ is zero and in $OH^-$ the oxidation number of H is +1 and that of O is -2. Oxidation number of Cl in $Cl_2$ is 0.

From above data, Oxidation number of O is -2 on both sides so it is not reduced.

Oxidation number of Cl is changing from -1 to 0 which is oxidation.

Oxidation number of H is changing from +1 to 0 which is reduction.

So, the right choice is C.H
