Does oxidation gain or lose oxygen or hydrogen?
It gains oxygen, loses hydrogen
Why does oxygen have more electronegativity than hydrogen?
because oxygen needs 2 electron to complete it's valance shell. Whereas hydrogen does not want to complete it's valance shell, it wants to lose its electron.
Why is oxygen gas produced from the decomposition of H2O2 and not hydrogen gas?
Hydrogen has a much lower attraction for electrons than oxygen does (or in more technical terms, oxygen has a much higher electronegativity). So when hydrogen gives up an electron to oxygen, it creates a strong chemical bond (although not an ionic bond; hydrogen's electronegativity is too high for that). When hydrogen peroxide gives up excess oxygen, the hydrogen remains bonded to the remaining oxygen (since hydrogen peroxide becomes water, H2O). If instead the hydrogen peroxide were to give up hydrogen, you would lose the powerful bond between hydrogen and oxygen, and all you would get in exchange would be a much weaker bond between hydrogen atoms and other hydrogen atoms, in the diatomic hydrogen molecule. Chemical reactions move in the direction of the strongest available bonds.
If I lose a hydrogen from an acid what do I have now?
Hydrogen
Which atom pulls the shared electrons more closely to itself in an O-H bond and why?
Oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, which means it will pull the shared electrons more closely to itself. Very few elements will lose electron density to hydrogen in common chemistry.

What is the ratio of hydrogen to oxygen in a carbohydrates?
The ratio of hydrogen to oxygen in a monosaccharide is 2:1--the formula for any of the three is C6H12O6. Things get weird when you go into disaccharides and above--you lose two hydrogens to create a free bonding pair.
Is it possible 2 lose an atom sweating?
When people sweat, they lose water through their skin pores. For the fact that water consists of hydrogen and oxygen atoms, it is true that someone can lose an atom from sweating.
Does sulfur gain electrons when combining with other elements?
It can both gain and lose electrons depending on the different elements. With hydrogen, it gains electrons to produce hydrogen sulphide and it will lose electrons with oxygen to produce sulphur oxides. Generally it will tend to gain electrons as it is in group 16 of the elements and so is quite negatively electrovalent but against a more negatively electrovalent elements it can be forced to lose electrons unwillingly as in the case of oxygen. Even though oxygen is also in group 16, sulphur is an order below oxygen and therefore less negatively electrovalent that oxygen.
Do acids lose or gain hydrogen ions?
Acids lose hydrogen ions.
If I lose a hydrogen from an acid what do I have now?
Hydrogen
How do you lose oxygen when your running?
You don't lose it, you use it. Oxygen is used to burn the hydrogen of sugar and fats to generate the high energy phosphate bonds (ATP) that your cells need to do work. It's also used to "burn" the carbon in the fats and sugars, but you get no energy from that, only heat.

Oxygen is more electronegative than hydrogen, which means it will pull the shared electrons more closely to itself. Very few elements will lose electron density to hydrogen in common chemistry.
What it tends to happen if sulfur combines with magnesium?
it will lose six electrons.
What is formula of linking ten glucose molecules by dehydration reactions?
The formula of glucose is C6H12O6 If you lose 1 H2O molecule in each multiplication( hence dehydration reaction). So if you have 10, you would lose 20 hydrogen and 10 oxygen or you can just subtract H2O, then multiply by 10. Either way you will get the same answer So the answer is Carbon-60, Hydrogen-100 and Oxygen-50 or C60H100O50 You have the right idea but if you link ten glucose molecules, you are only forming 9 glycosidic linkages .So, you would in fact, lose 9 H2O molecules.The answer is Carbon-60, Hydrogen-102 and Oxygen-51 or C60H102O51
