In Stock nomenclature, a number describing the degree of this process is represented by a Roman numeral following an element in a compound, such as in copper (II) (“two”) chloride. For 10 points each:
[10e] What process in which an atom loses electrons is contrasted with reduction?
ANSWER: oxidation [accept equivalents like being oxidized; accept oxidation number or oxidation state]
[10h] In this type of redox reaction, a compound with an intermediate oxidation number converts into two compounds, one with a higher and one with a lower oxidation number.
ANSWER: disproportionation [or dismutation]
[10m] One example of disproportionation is the Cannizzaro reaction, in which two of these molecules yield an alcohol and a carboxylic acid. The simplest one of these molecules is used as a crosslinking fixative for tissue preservation.
ANSWER: aldehydes [accept formaldehyde]
