Explanation

Corrosion occurs at the anode, where the metal undergoes oxidation,

Losing electrons and deteriorating into ions.

This process is the result of an electrochemical cell. 

In this fundamental mechanism, the anode facilitates the loss of electrons and the cathode facilitates the gain of electrons.

Allowing the overall chemical reaction of corrosion to proceed. 

Explanation

In SO₂, sulphur and oxygen share electrons, forming covalent bonds.

Each oxygen atom forms a double bond with sulphur, giving a bent molecular shape.

Explanation

The pH of pure water (H20) is 7 at 25 °C

pH stands for "Potential Hydrogen"

Explanation

A fission reaction is a chemical reaction in which an atomic nucleus splits into smaller parts, releasing energy.

It typically occurs in nuclear reactors and atomic bombs.

Explanation

Amphoteric substances are those that can react with both acids and bases.

They can donate or accept protons (H+ ions), depending on the conditions.

Examples of amphoteric substances include water (H2O), amino acids, and certain metals like zinc and aluminum.

Explanation

• Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria.
• It convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of glucose (sugar), using carbon dioxide and water as reactants.

Explanation

• Magnesium (Mg) is an element, not a compound.
• It is a pure substance made up of only one type of atom.
• Whereas compounds are made up of two or more different elements.

Examples of compounds:

• Water (H2O) - Compound of Hydrogen and Oxygen
• Common salt (NaCl) - Compound of Sodium and Chlorine
• Washing soda (Na2CO3) - Compound of Sodium, Carbon, and Oxygen
• Carbon dioxide (CO2) - Compound of Carbon and Oxygen
  
• Sugar (C6H12O6) - Compound of Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen

Explanation

The incorrect statement is: Metals are dull and soft.

Metals are typically:

• Solid at room temperature
• Have high melting and boiling points
• Good conductors of heat and electricity
• Shiny (although some metals may have a dull appearance due to oxidation or other surface treatments)
• Ductile (can be drawn into thin wires or sheets)
• Malleable (can be pounded into shape without breaking)

Explanation

• The correct answer is: Particles have large empty spaces between them.
• This statement is incorrect because particles in liquids have small spaces between them, not large empty spaces.

Explanation

In a gas, the particles are:

• Widely spread out, with no fixed position or arrangement
• Not in a regular pattern, with no repeating structure or order
• Separated by large empty spaces, with no close packing or cohesion
