Does oxidation gain or lose oxygen or hydrogen?
It gains oxygen, loses hydrogen
How many valence electrons does oxygen gain?
Oxygen tends to gain two electrons to complete its "octet", making it O2- with the electron configuration 1s22s22p6
What process does a cell with a low concentration of oxygen will likely gain oxygen molecules from an area with a higher oxygen concentration have to go through?
Diffusion.
Do metals gain or lose weight when rusted?
Rust is also known as an object becoming oxidated, this means it gains oxygen. A normal iron atom when left in the atmosphere will rust and gain oxygen FeO this means when things rust they gain weight.
How are the elements oxygen and calcium different on the periodic table?
Calcium can loose 2 electrons. Oxygen can gain 2 electrons.
What happens when a person takes in more food energy than his or her needs?
They gain weight.
Which gas does blood gain or lose and which does it give to the active muscle?
takes out carbon dioxide. puts in oxygen
Do inert elements gain electrons?
There is no electron exchange when no reaction takes place (this is what 'inert' means)
What happens if you are anorexic and eat a lot in one meal and do you gain weight because of it?
No. It takes 3,500 calories to gain a solid pound of body weight. One meal will not do that.
Do oxygen compounds become more stable or less stable when oxygen forms compounds?
Oxygen has six valence electrons, which means that it needs to gain two to become stable. it takes much more energy for oxygen to lose its 6 valence electrons than it would be to gain 2. When atoms form compounds, they become stable.
Do oxygen atoms become more stables or less stable when oxygen forms compounds?
Oxygen has six valence electrons, which means that it needs to gain two to become stable. it takes much more energy for oxygen to lose its 6 valence electrons than it would be to gain 2. When atoms form compounds, they become stable.
What happens when a person takes in more food energy than his or her body needs?
It is converted to fat stores.
What is adiabatic proccess?
An adiabatic process is a process that takes place without any loss or gain of heat.
Which of the following changes takes place during the third trimester of a woman's pregnancy?
Final weight gain
Do oxygen gain or lose electrons?
Oxygen is an oxidizer, it will gain electrons in a reaction to complete it's valence shell.
What is the difference in the stock market and the currency exchange market?
A stock market or equity market, is a trading place where buying and selling of stocks happens to gain some profits. The currency market, also termed as Forex, is a global, decentralized market where the transaction of currencies takes place. The largest international banks and financial institutions takes part in this Forex trade.
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
