n oxidation and reduction reaction occurs in both

aqueous solutions and in reactions where substances

are burned in the presence of oxygen gas, involves a

transfer of electrons

as the driving force of the

chemical reaction.

?

The reactants in these reactions will lose or gain electrons

and change their charge as they form the products.

?

The driving force of these chemical changes is electrons

transfer.

Is reduction physical or chemical?

Reduction can involve both physical and chemical changes. In a chemical sense, reduction involves gaining electrons to form a lower oxidation state. In a physical sense, reduction can refer to the process of decreasing the size or amount of a substance.


Describe What happens during a reduction-oxidation reaction?

Electrons are transferred from one molecule or ion to another. The substance that loses electrons is said to be oxidized, the one that gains the electrons is said to be reduced. -A Muslim


What kind of chemical reaction is the burning of magnesium in oxygen?

it is the oxidation of Magnesium into Magnesium oxide which appears as a white powder.That is classified as a redox reaction, a term which is a contraction of reduction-oxidation. The magnesium is oxidized and the oxygen is reduced. The terms refer to the transfer of electrons. Electrons have a negative charge, so a recipient of electrons, such as oxygen is reduced in the sense that its charge becomes negative.


What is the element os fire on the periodic table?

Fire is not an element on the periodic table; rather, it is a chemical reaction known as combustion, which typically involves the rapid oxidation of a fuel, producing heat, light, and various gases. The elements commonly associated with fire are carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, as they are often involved in combustion reactions. In a broader sense, fire can be seen as a manifestation of energy release from chemical reactions rather than a distinct element.


Why does it make sense that the last pathway of aerobic respiration gives off the most ATP?

Because ATP is present due to oxidation.

Is Oxidation a reaction in which a species gains electrons?

No - if Iron is oxidised to Iron II or Iron III it LOSES electrons - but the oxygen (or other) gains electrons. So for the compound there is not net gain or loss of electrons but there is for the individual components. Hope that makes sense


What is the opposite word of nectar?

There is no such thing. It makes sense to talk about opposites of simple properties (adjectives), such as "fast", "clever", etc.; in general, it doesn't make so much sense to talk about the opposites of objects (nouns).

Does the chemical reaction of carbon dioxide with other substances is called oxidation?

No. Presumably, if that were a subject of wide interest, it might be called carbon-dioxidation.Just plain old "oxidation" is the reaction of various substances with oxygen.


What group of elements can have more then 1 oxidation number?

Predominantly, the transition elements, but also hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen. Actually all elements that have reactions can have more than one oxidation number in the sense that their oxidation number is 0 when they are in pure form and usually is some other value when they are in compounds.


What is stress reduction?

Stress reduction refers to various strategies that counteract this response and produce a sense of relaxation and tranquility.


Are hinder and entangle the same or opposite?

In the sense that either can impede (be an impediment), they are not opposites, but they are also not generally synonyms.


Is wrapper unwraps an oxymoron?

I don't know if it makes sense, but yes when two opposites are paired together then it is an oxymoron.

The question does not make sense.


How is oxygen destroyed?

Oxygen is not typically "destroyed" in a chemical sense, as it is a stable molecule. It can be consumed through chemical reactions or by organisms during respiration. In certain natural processes, oxygen can be converted into other compounds like carbon dioxide through oxidation reactions.
