When this type of reaction occurs oxygen is taken away from a substance and electrons are gained by the substance?
reduction
What is the relationship between oxidising agent and the reduced substance?
Its the substance reduced which is termed to be an oxidizing agent. When a substance is reduced, it loses electrons that are taken up by another substance thereby oxidizing another substance (oxidising agent).
Heat being added or taken away from a substance may cause?
more or less heat
Why a substance that oxidised is called a reducing agent and why a substance that is reduced is called an oxidising agent?
It is because when a substance is oxidized, it loses electrons which are taken up by other so that is gets reduced.This is why it is called reducing agent. Similarly, the substance reduced is called oxidizing agent.
When a substances gains electrons is it reduced?
Yes when any substance gains electrons , that substance is now then reduced.
How do electrons help in transfer of heat energy?
when a substance is heated,the molecules in that substance get heat energy. we know that all of the molecule in the substance having electrons. when substance is heated. electrons becoming high energetic.and they move faster and also energy will propagate though out the substance
How long do you have to wait to get your permit back after getting it taken for bad grades?
I would say two weeks or until you bring your grades up. You can not get your permit taken away due to bad grades. It can be taken away by substance abouse and wreckless driving.
What type or reaction occurs when one substance donates electrons and other substance accepts those electrons?
It is a redox reaction.
What safety precautions should be taken when using radioactive substances?
you need to stay about 3-4 feet away from the substance.
What substance loses electrons with a rusty nail?
Iron lose electrons.
What is the term for a reaction in which a substances gains electrons?
When a substance gains an electron or electrons, this is known as "reduction". For every reduction reaction, there is also an oxidation reaction. So, whatever substance "gave" the electrons, underwent oxidation.
The substance that accepts electrons from another substance is the?
In a redox reaction, the substance that accepts electrons is said to be the substance reduced. This substance is also likely the oxidizing agent, since oxidation is the loss of electrons.
