HELP ASAP (will brainlist) When zinc metal reacts with oxygen gas, 2Zn(s) + O2(g) → 2ZnO(g), large amounts of light and heat are released. A student states that this reaction is a combustion reaction but not a redox reaction. Do you agree? Defend your answer by explaining whether or not it meets the requirements of each type of reaction.

Not agree

Explanation:

This is also a redox reaction because both oxidation and reduction takes place in it

Zinc oxidizes to Zn 2+

And oygen refuces to O 2-

is there multiple choice answers?

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
