Why must oxidation be accompanied by a reduction? A. The species being oxidized shares electron(s) with the species that is reduced
B. The species being oxidized takes electron(s) from some other
C. Electrons can be given up to free space. species being oxidized must transfer electron(s) to some othen
D. Electrons cannot just be given up to free space.

Put these processes of the water cycle in the correct order, starting at the point where the water is in the lake: 1. water evaporates into the atmosphere 2. rain, snow, or other precipitation falls 3. water collects into larger bodies of water 4. water vapor condenses into liquid water

Which type of bonding involves the complete transfer of a valence electron from a less electrogrative atom to a more electronegative one

The small bags of silica gel you often see in a new shoe box are placed there to control humidity. despite its name, silica gel is a solid. it is a chemically inert, highly porous, amorphous form of sio2. because water vapor readily adsorbs onto the surface of silica gel, it acts as a desiccant. despite not knowing mechanistic details of the adsorption of water onto silica gel, from the information provided you should be able to make an educated guess about the thermodynamic characteristics of the process. predict the signs for δg, δh, and δs for the adsorption of water.
