What does the it mean for an element to be oxidized?
The element has lost one or more electrons in a reaction.
How is carbon used to reduce metal oxides in terms of movement of electrons?
Carbothermic reactions are reduction reactions.
What happens when shared electrons between hydrogen and oxygen spend more time orbiting the oxygen than the hydrogen and what effect does this have on water molecules?
If you think of it in terms of time, the electrons always spend more on the oxygen. This creates polar bonds, and as the molecule is not symmetrical, it means that the whole molecule is polar.
What does CHONPS stand for in biology terms?
it is the short form for Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Sulfur. Those are the basic life forming elements
What is the difference between oxidation and carbonation?
In lesser terms, oxidation is when a rock or mineral of some sort interacts with oxygen and carbonation is when a rock or mineral interacts with carbon or carbon dioxide.
How is carbon dioxide different from carbon and oxygen?
Carbon and Oxygen are atoms (although the terms can also be use for some corresponding pure molecules like O2). Carbon dioxide is a molecule. It is more different from carbon and Oxygen than a chair is different from wood and nails...
What does the it mean for an element to be oxidized?
The element has lost one or more electrons in a reaction.
Describe in terms of electrons what happens when an oxygen atom forms an oxygen ion state the charge on the oxygen ion formed?
Oxygen, O. Oxygen is in Group 6. It has six electrons in its outer shell. It gains two electrons from one or two other atoms in reactions, forming an oxide ion, O 2-
Carbon monoxide is made up of a carbon atom bonded to an oxygen atom Therefor it is an example of?
An oxide in general terms or, to be more specific, an oxocarbon, a compound containing only carbon and oxygen atoms.
How is carbon used to reduce metal oxides in terms of movement of electrons?
Carbothermic reactions are reduction reactions.
What happens in terms of electrons when lithium reacts with oxygen?
Oxygen is more electronegative than lithium, a metal. Oxygen has a tendency to gain two electrons so it will bond with two lithium atoms which have a tendency to donate one valence electron for bonding. Li2O
What are types of gas are there and can you please put it in kid terms?
Oxygen Helium Natural Gas Carbon Dioxide Anesthetics Gas Carbon monoxide sulfur dioxide Neon Water Vapor You see, I HAVE to put it in kid terms because I AM a kid! We breathe in Oxygen, and we breathe out carbon dioxide, better known as Co2. Plants take in Co2 and produce oxygen.....and this is why we are lucky to have plants around!:)
What is the bond configuration - in terms of sigma and pi - of C-C double and triple bonds?
The Carbon-Carbon double bound consists of a sigma bond and a pi bond. There are 2 carbon atoms sharing 4 electrons.The Carbon-Carbon triple bound consists of one sigma bond and two pi bonds. There are 2 carbon atoms sharing 6 electrons.Related Information:The Carbon-Carbon single bound consists of the sigma bond. There are 2 carbon atoms sharing 2 electrons.Each Carbon-Carbon or Carbon-Hydrogen covalent bond is formed by 2 electrons in one 'hybrid' orbital.Hydrogen-Oxygen or Carbon-Oxygen bonds are polar-covalent bonds.
What is 02 and C02 in medical terms?
This has to do with chemistry. O2 is also known as oxygen, because there are two oxygen atoms bound together to make the oxygen molecule. CO2 is carbon dioxide, because there is 1 carbon atom bound together with 2 oxygen atoms to make the molecule.
Explain in terms of electron structure why carbon usually forms four bonds?
Carbon has 4 valence electrons, allowing it to form 4 covalent bonds to achieve a full outer shell, which is more stable. By sharing electrons with other atoms, carbon can achieve a total of 8 electrons in its outer shell, following the octet rule.
What happens when shared electrons between hydrogen and oxygen spend more time orbiting the oxygen than the hydrogen and what effect does this have on water molecules?
If you think of it in terms of time, the electrons always spend more on the oxygen. This creates polar bonds, and as the molecule is not symmetrical, it means that the whole molecule is polar.
