Answer: 
Explanation:
For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.
Here iron is having an oxidation state of +3 called as
cation and oxide
is an anion with oxidation state of -2. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral
.
According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

The answer is A. Gas particles!
Answer:
Sr is the more metallic element
Bi is the more metallic element
O is the more metallic element
As is the more metallic element
Explanation:
One thing should be clear; metallic character increases down the group but decreases across the period.
Hence, as we move across the period, elements become less metallic. As we move down the group elements become more metallic.
This is the basis upon which decisions were made about the metallic character of each of the elements listed above.
