Corrosion involves atoms at the surface of a metal losing electrons and changing to metal ions state the name of this kind of reaction?

The corrosion of metals involves a redox reaction. In an oxidation-reduction or redox reaction, metals lose electrons to oxygen to form a ionic compound from the metal ions and an ion of the oxide.

What reaction involves the transfer of electrons?
A REDOX reaction involves transfer of electrons.
Does the hill reaction involve cyclic or non-cyclic phosphorylation?
It involves cyclic phosphorylation because electrons are continously recycled. The electrons lost by cholorphyll molecules are gained by DCPIP and vice versa. Thus, the hill reaction only involves cyclic phosphorylation, unless the electrons are lost to the surrounding environment.
Is corrosion is a reversible cell reaction or irreversible cell reaction?
Corrosion is an irereversible process.
What type of chemical reaction involves a metal atom transferring electrons to cations producing a new metal and a cation?
a single replacement reaction
Part of a reaction that involves only oxidation or reduction is a?
It's not entirely clear what the question is asking... but oxidation involves the loss of electrons from an atom or ion, and reduction involves the gain of electrons. The other parts of a redox (reduction-oxidation) reaction may involve atoms forming and breaking bonds, but the oxidation or reduction part is just about losing or gaining electrons. You might be talking about what is called a "half-reaction." A half-reaction is the part of the reaction that is only either the oxidation step or the reduction step. Neither is a complete reaction, but put together the two half-reactions give the overall reactions. In the oxidation half-reaction, electrons come out as products, and in the reduction half-reaction electrons go in as reactants. Remember: OIL RIG Oxidation Is Loss; Reduction Is Gain.
What reaction involves the transfer of electrons?
A REDOX reaction involves transfer of electrons.
A redox reaction involves the transfer of?
carbon dioxide New: electrons
The gradual wearing away of a metal due to a chemical reaction is called what?
Corrosion. This often involves a reaction with oxygen.
What type of reaction involves changes in the electrons of an atom?
all of them. that's what a reaction is.
What is corrosion of metals?
The corrosion of metals is the gradual destruction by chemical reaction with its environment. This process involves the electrochemical oxidation of metals in reaction with an oxidant such as oxygen.
What is the simplest definition for redox reaction?
it involves loss of electrons and gain of electrons at the same time
Any chemical reaction that involves the loss of one or more electrons by an atom or ion is a?
It is an oxidation reaction.
Concept of oxidation and reduction?
a reversible chemical reaction in which one reaction is an oxidation and the reverse is a reduction
Does the explosion in a nuclear bomb count as a rapid chemical reaction?
No, a nuclear bomb involves a nuclear chain-reaction.A chemical reaction involves the orbiting electrons in an atom.A nuclear reaction involves the nucleus (hence "Nuclear") of an atom.
Chemical reaction involves protons?
Chemical reactions involve valence electrons and not protons.
Does the hill reaction involve cyclic or non-cyclic phosphorylation?
It involves cyclic phosphorylation because electrons are continously recycled. The electrons lost by cholorphyll molecules are gained by DCPIP and vice versa. Thus, the hill reaction only involves cyclic phosphorylation, unless the electrons are lost to the surrounding environment.
Is corrosion is a reversible cell reaction or irreversible cell reaction?
Corrosion is an irereversible process.
