What is the result of an atom that gains or loses an electron?
This is called a redox reaction. An atom that loses an electron is oxidized and an atom that gains an electron is reduced.
When a chlorine atom becomes an ion has it been oxidized or reduced?
A chlorine atom gains an electron when it becomes an ion. This means it has been reduced because there is a decrease in oxidation state from 0 to -1.
Why is it when something is reduced it gains electrons?
When something is reduced, it gains electrons because reduction involves the gaining of negatively charged electrons. This process allows the substance to become more negatively charged and reduced in oxidation state. By gaining electrons, the substance can increase its stability and reach a more energetically favorable state.
An atom that has gained an electron is?
An atom that has gained an electron becomes a negatively charged ion.
The final reduced species in the electron transport chain is?
The final reduced species in the electron transport chain is water. Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the chain, and it is reduced to form water.
Why is there an attraction between sodium and chlorine?
Sodium metal and chlorine gas do not "attract" each other. They react chemically - sodium metal is oxidised - losing one electron- chlorine is reduced gaining one. The two resulting oppositely charged ions, Na+ and Cl- form the ionic compound NaCl
What is the result of an atom that gains or loses an electron?
This is called a redox reaction. An atom that loses an electron is oxidized and an atom that gains an electron is reduced.
When an atom of chlorine forms an ionic bond with an atom of chlorine?
it gains an electron d=D have a great day!
Any substance that gains electrons is?
negative, minus 1 for each electron gained. e.g Cl gains 1 electron so is Cl- where as O gains two electrons so is O2-
What happens when an bromine atom gains an electorn?
When a bromine atom gains an electron, it becomes a bromide ion with a charge of -1. This extra electron fills the outer electron shell of the bromine atom, giving it a full set of electrons and making it stable.
When a chlorine atom becomes an ion has it been oxidized or reduced?
A chlorine atom gains an electron when it becomes an ion. This means it has been reduced because there is a decrease in oxidation state from 0 to -1.
Why is it when something is reduced it gains electrons?
When something is reduced, it gains electrons because reduction involves the gaining of negatively charged electrons. This process allows the substance to become more negatively charged and reduced in oxidation state. By gaining electrons, the substance can increase its stability and reach a more energetically favorable state.
What would happen during a tug of war between sodium and chlorine over eachs outer electrons?
Sodium would lose one electron and chlorine would gain one electron. End of contest. Sodim is oxidised, chlorine is reduced.
An atom that has gained an electron is?
An atom that has gained an electron becomes a negatively charged ion.
What happens to a molecule when it is reduced?
A molecule is said to be reduced when one of its atoms gains an electron. Since electrons are negatively charged, the net charge of the molecule is reduced when one of it's atoms acquires an electron.
If a neutral atom becomes positively charged has it been oxidized or reduced?
With the loss of electron a neutral atom becomes positive ion and loss of electron is known as oxidation.
What would happen during a tug of war between sodium and chlorine over each others outer electrons?
Sodium would lose one electron and chlorine would gain one electron. End of contest. Sodim is oxidised, chlorine is reduced.
