What happens during an oxidation reduction reaction?
As I learnt it OIL RIG Oxidisation Is Loss (electrons are lost from the matter in question) Reduction Is Gain (the exact opposite electrons are gained from the matter in question)
An electron that participates in a chemical bond?
Electrons participating in the chemical bond is valence electrons or the electrons present in the outer shell
How is the valence electrons of an atom related to a chemical bonding?
The valence electrons are the only electrons that are involved in chemical bonding. These electrons can be shared or transferred. A simple rule of thumb is that atoms "strive" to attain the octet either by loss gain or sharing of electrons.
What does the formation of a chemical bond involve?
Electrons involve in forming chemical bonds.
How many total electrons are transfered in the following reaction 2Na Cl?
Two total electrons are transferred in the reaction 2NaCl. Two electrons are lost from the sodium but gained for the chloride.
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 does one recognize redox reaction?
if oxidation states change, it is a redox reaction
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.
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.
What are valances?
They are electrons in the outermost energy level of an atom. They are the electrons that are either shared, lost, or gained in the proccess of forming chemical compounds
When chemical compounds form valence electrons are those that may be .....?
They may be lost, gained, or shared.
What is important about the valence electrons?
When an atom undergoes chemical change, only the outermost (valence electrons) are involved.
Number of electrons lost or gained by an atom in a chemical reaction is its?
Number of electrons are lost by an atom in a chemichl reaction
Does strontium have the tendency to lose or gain electrons in a chemical reaction?
You wouldn't expect strontium to gain electrons in a chemical change.
How many electrons must be gained by chlorine to achieve sec?
Chlorine gain an electron in chemical reactions.
What chemical changes involve breaking and making chemical bonds?
Breaking of bonds but also formation of new bonds.
