Metals have a low electron affinity- a less likely chance to gain electrons because they want to give up their valence electrons rather than gain electrons, which require more energy than necessary.
True, because a liquid can be taken and added, but a solid stay the same never losses and never gains
Step 1: Write the unbalanced equation,
C₂H₆ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂<span>O
There are 2 C at left hand side and 1 carbon at right hand side. So, multiply CO</span>₂ by 2 to balance C atoms at both side. So,
C₂H₆ + O₂ → 2 CO₂ + H₂O
Now, count number of H atoms at both sides. There are 6 H atoms at left hand side and 2 at right hand side. Multiply H₂O by 3 to balance H atoms.
C₂H₆ + O₂ → 2 CO₂ + 3 H₂O
At last, balance O atoms. There are 2 O atoms at left hand side and 3 O atoms at right hand side. Multiply O₂ with 1.5 (i.e. 3/2) to balance O atoms. i.e.
C₂H₆ + 3/2 O₂ → 2 CO₂ + 3 H₂O
Hence, the equation is balanced. If you want to make equation fraction free then multiply all equation with 2. i.e.
( C₂H₆ + 3/2 O₂ → 2 CO₂ + 3 H₂O ) × 2
2 C₂H₆ + 3 O₂ → 4 CO₂ + 6 H₂O
