n oxidation and reduction reaction occurs in both
aqueous solutions and in reactions where substances
are burned in the presence of oxygen gas, involves a
transfer of electrons
as the driving force of the
chemical reaction.
?
The reactants in these reactions will lose or gain electrons
and change their charge as they form the products.
?
The driving force of these chemical changes is electrons
transfer.

What kind of chemical reaction is the burning of magnesium in oxygen?
it is the oxidation of Magnesium into Magnesium oxide which appears as a white powder.That is classified as a redox reaction, a term which is a contraction of reduction-oxidation. The magnesium is oxidized and the oxygen is reduced. The terms refer to the transfer of electrons. Electrons have a negative charge, so a recipient of electrons, such as oxygen is reduced in the sense that its charge becomes negative.
What is nuclear chemistry?
Nuclear chemistry is a branch of chemistry related to chemical processes involved in nuclear reactions.
Why does it make sense that the last pathway of aerobic respiration gives off the most ATP?
Because ATP is present due to oxidation.
What is energy released or absorbed during chemical change called?
It depends. There are two types of chemical reaction int his sense. Exothermic reactions release energy and endothermic reactions absorb it.
Describe What happens during a reduction-oxidation reaction?
Electrons are transferred from one molecule or ion to another. The substance that loses electrons is said to be oxidized, the one that gains the electrons is said to be reduced. -A Muslim
Is Oxidation a reaction in which a species gains electrons?
No - if Iron is oxidised to Iron II or Iron III it LOSES electrons - but the oxygen (or other) gains electrons. So for the compound there is not net gain or loss of electrons but there is for the individual components. Hope that makes sense
What group of elements can have more then 1 oxidation number?
Predominantly, the transition elements, but also hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. Actually all elements that have reactions can have more than one oxidation number in the sense that their oxidation number is 0 when they are in pure form and usually is some other value when they are in compounds.

What is the opposite word of nectar?
There is no such thing. It makes sense to talk about opposites of simple properties (adjectives), such as "fast", "clever", etc.; in general, it doesn't make so much sense to talk about the opposites of objects (nouns).
What is stress reduction?
Stress reduction refers to various strategies that counteract this response and produce a sense of relaxation and tranquility.
Are hinder and entangle the same or opposite?
In the sense that either can impede (be an impediment), they are not opposites, but they are also not generally synonyms.
What is the reactions of reactive metals?
The question does not make sense.
Is wrapper unwraps an oxymoron?
I don't know if it makes sense, but yes when two opposites are paired together then it is an oxymoron.
What is the opposite of a plank?
You can have an opposite of a property, such as "big", "fast", "silly", but in most cases it doesn't make much sense to talk about opposites of objects.
