Methane contributes towards global warming so it is called a _________________ gas.

 

Atoms are composed of three main particles called electrons, protons and neutrons. We know that, the electrons are negatively charged particles whereas protons are positively charged and neutrons have no charge.

Hence, as the number of electrons and protons are equal and they are oppositely charged, the atom will have no charge as their charges cancel each other.

In thermodynamics, deposition is a phase transition in which gases are directly transformed to solids without converting to liquids first.

For example, watervapour is directly changed to ice without first becoming to liquid water. In this process, heat is released making the process exothermic process.

A metalloid is an element with properties between metals and non metals or the mix of both.

The six metalloids are arsenic, silicon, germanium, boron, antimony and tellurium.

Hence, silicon is the only metalloid in the given list.

TRUE, the compounds are formed as a result of chemical change.

The process which involves absorption of heat is endothermic.

Here given all the options are involving in absorption of heat. Hence, all the above are endithermic.

A redox reaction is a type of reaction which involves transfer of electrons among two species. This reaction is also called oxidation-reduction reaction.

In oxidation process, there is an increase in oxidation state of an atom, ion or molecule by losing the electrons.

In reduction process, there is a decrease in oxidation state of an atom, ion or molecule by accepting the electrons.

1)

In this reaction, Ba undergoes oxidation and Cl undergoes reduction.
This reaction is redox reaction.
In this reaction, oxidation number of Ba increases from 0 to +2 . So, Ba undergoes oxidation. The oxidation number of Cl decreases from 0 to -1. So, Cl undergoes reduction.

2) 

From this above reaction, it is clear that Aluminum undergoes oxidation and silver undergoes reduction.
Due to this, this reaction is redox reaction.

In this reaction, oxidation number of Aluminum increases from 0 to +1. So, aluminum undergoes oxidation. The oxidation number of silver decreases from +1 to 0. So, silver undergoes reduction.

3)

In this reaction, Mg undergoes oxidation and Br undergoes reduction.
This reaction is redox reaction.
The reactions 1, 3 and 4 are redox reactions.
In this reaction, oxidation number of Mg increases from 0 to +2 . So, Mg undergoes oxidation. The oxidation number of Br decreases from 0 to -1 . So, Br undergoes reduction.

Hence all the above reactions are redox reactions.

SiCl4 is a non polar as the forces of attraction between the shared pair of electrons are equal and the molecule is symmetric.
