Molecules: when atoms join up, sentence 4
No atom is lost in a reaction; the atoms are only rearranged, so a rusty nail actually weighs more than the clean one, because it has gained oxygen from the air.
Who acts: rusty nail, nail · What happens: lose, rearrange, weigh, gain · To what, where: atom, reaction, atoms, more, oxygen, air
This is a sentence of the lesson «Molecules: when atoms join up» of the chemistry course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (rusty nail, nail), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
