Why is reduction the term used to describe the gain of an electron? why is reduction the term used to describe the gain of an electron? the electron acceptor gets smaller. the number of molecules in the reaction decreases. the amount of energy in the molecule decreases. the electron acceptor’s net charge decreases.

The correct answer choice to the question: Why is reduction the term used to describe the gain of an electron, would be: The electron acceptor´s net charge decreases.

Explanation:

In chemical reactions, especially those known as redox reactions, one substance, or molecule, in the presence of another, tends to give up an electron, donate it to another, and become oxidized. In the case of the molecule that accepts the electron we say that this molecule has become reduced  and this is because, as the accepting molecule takes in the charged electron, this one change in electron charges will upset the balance that existed before the exchange. The result is that the acceptor of the incoming electron will see a decrease in its net charge, thus becoming reduced.

do you have more to the question?

explanation:

b the manazanar relocation center was located in california. it was used to keep japanise from spying on america.

the reasons for the harsh treatment, is because japan used tourist to take pictures and snapshots of pearl harbor.

many americans were afraid that the japanise would betray them for their mother country. through and means necessary. this means that, the leadership in japan is a lot different than it is here. culture and family ties has much to do with their outlook and worldview.
