What happens to a reducing agent as it reduces?
In chemistry, reduction is defined as a phenomenon in which substance gets electron from other species, oxidation is defined as a process in which substance donates electron to other species. When a metal acts as reducing agent, the other substance (for which metal acts as reducing agent) gets electrons (from metal) and by definition goes on reduction, and the metal, in this process, donates electron so, metal itself undergoes to oxidation.
Scientists described a base as a compound that donates an electron pair?
The Lewis Theory describes a base as a compound that donates an electron pair. By donating the electron pair there is a covalent bond.
In ionic bonding the metal donates its valence electron to the?
The metal gives its electron(s) to a nonmetal.
Which element is the reducing agent in a red ox reaction?
The reducing agent donates electrons to an oxidant. Reducing elements become positive ions. Most metals are reducing elements.
Did sodium donates or accept electrons?
Sodium donates one electron from it's valance shell and becomes the cation, Na + Having a 1 + positive charge as it is short the one electron.
The molecule that functions as the reducing agent in a oxidation-reduction reaction?
The reactant that reduces another atom.
Whenever ammonia donates an electron pair to form a covalent bond it acts as an?
Reducing agent
What molecule donates the second h plus and e plus to the electron transport chain?
y
What is weak reducing agent?
A reducing agent also known as reducer or reductant is the element or compound in oxidation reduction reaction. The reaction donates an electron to other species.
If an atom donates or accepts an electron what is it considered?
If an atom donates or accepts an electron it is considered an ion.
What is the charge on the chlorine atom in the molecule hcl?
Chlorine gains an electron and becomes negative 1 charge. Hydrogen donates an electron so becomes positive 1 charge.

What is acides and base?
There are three definitions for acids and bases. Arrhenius definition: An acid is a substance that produces hydrogen (H+) ions in water while a base produces hydroxide (OH-) ions. Bronsted-Lowry definition: An acid gives up or donates a proton (H+) to another molecule while a base accepts a proton. Lewis definition: An acid accepts an electron pair in bonding to another molecule/ion while a base donates and electron pair. Note that if a substance meets one of the first two definitions it probably meets the others as well.

In ionic bonding the metal donates its valence electron to the?
The metal gives its electron(s) to a nonmetal.
When a compound donates electrons the compound becomes what?
if a neutral atom donates an electron it will gain a positive charge. This is due to electrons having a negative charge.
