What is the process by which a molecule gains an H atom?
Reduction
The loss of electrons by a molecule atom or ion is called?
oxidation. Gaining electrons is called reduction.
What happens to the hydrogen atom of the HCl molecule when placed in water?
The hydrogen will dissolve
What happens if you add an atom to another atom?
it becomes a molecule. when you add molecules and atoms, they form matter.
What type of atom or molecule is lamppost?
What type of atom or molecule is in lamppost
What is the process by which a molecule gains an H atom?
Reduction
How many hydrogen atoms are in a molecule of reduction atoms?
There's no such thing as a "reduction atom".
What happens during a reduction/oxidation reaction?
An oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction is a type of chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons between two species. An oxidation-reduction reaction is any chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a molecule, atom, or ion changes by gaining or losing an electron
Why gain of electrons is called reduction?
A decrease in the oxidation state of a molecule, atom, or ion is reduction
How do the definitions of oxidation and reduction differ?
Oxidation is the loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state by a molecule, atom or ion. Reduction is the gain of electrons or a decrease in oxidation state by a molecule, atom, or ion.
When a glucose molecule loses a hydrogen atom as the result of an oxidation-reduction reaction the molecule becomes?
oxidized
What happens if a molecule hits an atom and they disintegrate and the pieces of the atom and the molecule hit a germ will the germ explode?
No
The loss of electrons by a molecule atom or ion is called?
oxidation. Gaining electrons is called reduction.
The gaining of electrons by an atom during metabolism is called?
Reduction
What happens when an atom that looses an electron comes in contact with an atom that has gained an electron?
An ionic molecule is formed.
What is the relationship between oxidation and reduction?
Oxidation and Reduction reactions occur when electrons are transferred. The molecule that is oxidized loses an electron and the molecule that is reduced gains the electron that was lost by the oxidized molecule. Therefore, oxidation and reduction have to occur together.
What happens to carbon dioxide when it's an atom?
there is no carbon dioxide atom it is a molecule CO2 means that a carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms chemicaly combined to form a carbon dioxide molecule
