How does one recognize redox reaction?
if oxidation states change, it is a redox reaction
Why do reactions have to he balanced?
atoms are not lost or gained in a chemical reaction
What is the oxide number of an element?
The charge an element would have if it lost or gained electrons
Which takes place during a redox reaction?
Electrons are both gained and lost. Electrons are both gained and lost.
How a balanced chemical equation really illustrate that mass is never lost or gained in a chemical reaction?
The kinds of atoms and the number of each kind are the same on both sides of a balanced chemical equation.
What is gained in a chemical reaction?
Electrons are the ones gained or lost in a chemical reaction. Electrons are gained in oxidation and lost through the chemical reaction known as reduction.
How many electrons are lost or gained in a chemical reaction?
There is zero NET loss or gain of electrons
Are valence electrons lost gained or shared during a chemical reaction?
They are lost.
In a redox reaction the total number of electrons lost is?
In a redox reaction the number of electrons lost by one particle is equal to the number of electrons gained by another particle.
How does one recognize redox reaction?
if oxidation states change, it is a redox reaction
What is a chemical change in which electrons are gained?
A chemical change in which electrons are gained is a reduction.
How many electrons does a nonmetal and metal receive during a chemical reaction?
In general chemical reactions, metals tend to loose electrons and non-metals gain electrons. The no. of electrons loosed by metals is the same as the no. of electrons gained by the non-metals.
Why do reactions have to he balanced?
atoms are not lost or gained in a chemical reaction
What is the number of electrons that are lost or gained or shared by an atom during the course of a chemical reaction?
The number specified is called the "valence" of the atom for the particular reaction occurring. (Some elements have more than one possible valence.)
What is the oxide number of an element?
The charge an element would have if it lost or gained electrons
What subatomic particles is lost or gained during a chemical reaction?
No. All of the elements, and their amounts will be present in the product/s, but they will be arranged differently.2Na + Cl2 --> 2NaClIn the balanced equation for the synthesis of sodium chloride (NaCl), the amount of sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) is the same on both sides.
Which takes place during a redox reaction?
Electrons are both gained and lost. Electrons are both gained and lost.
