When a compound serves as an electron acceptor it is oxidized?
No gain of electron is reduction. An atom that gains electrons is reduced in a chemical reaction. OIL RIG; oxidation is loss, reduction is gain
Is tarnishing of costume jewelry physical of chemical change?
Tarnishing is a chemical change in which the metal is being oxidized.
What shows the components of a chemical compound?
A chemical formula shows the components of a chemical compound.
During a chemical reaction an iron atom became the ion Fe 2 plus . What happened to the iron atom?
If Fe becomes Fe^2+ it has lost 2 electrons, and so the Fe has been OXIDIZED.
A molecule that gives up an electron becomes both ionized and oxidized?
true
What is a reduced compound?
A reduced compound is a compound that came into contact with another chemical, experienced a chemical reaction, and lost an electron in the reaction. Reduced compounds are often oxidized.
How do you get a chemical solution?
When one compound dissolves into another compound, it becomes a solution.
When a compound donates electrons the compound becomes what?
if a neutral atom donates an electron it will gain a positive charge. This is due to electrons having a negative charge.
When a substance reacts with oxygen?
It becomes oxidized
If a molecule of ATP is oxidized becomes?
ADP
What mixture which makes from element or compounds?
it is a chemical change so that is why it becomes a compound from a element
When two chemicals are involved in a chemical reaction do they create a different element?
It is no longer an element but it becomes a compound. And becomes what is known as a mixture.
Is oxidized metal organic compound?
No. Only compounds containing carbon are organic. "Oxidized metal" is merely a metal with a coating of a corresponding metal compound, usually an oxide.
Does the chemical makeup quartz ever change?
No chemical formulas ever change. If there are different elements in a compound, it ceases to remain the same compound, and becomes a new compound.The chemical formula for quartz is SiO2. That is, always was, and always will be the chemical formula for quartz.
When a glucose molecule loses a hydrogen atom as the result of an oxidation-reduction reaction the molecule becomes?
oxidized
When iron becomes red-hot when heated is that a chemical or physical property?
No, it is a chemical change Iron turns green means it is oxidized to ferrous (Fe+2) state.
When a compound serves as an electron acceptor it is oxidized?
No gain of electron is reduction. An atom that gains electrons is reduced in a chemical reaction. OIL RIG; oxidation is loss, reduction is gain
