why is the reaction between potassium (k) and chlorine (cl) considered an oxidation-reduction reaction?

k(s) + cl2(g) → 2kcl(s)

chlorine reduces in size when it reacts with potassium.
chlorine takes electrons from potassium in the reaction.
potassium reduces in strength when it bonds with chlorine.
potassium takes chlorine's place in the reaction.

you need to take a look at the periodic system in order to sort these elements into pairs that would most likely exhibit similar chemical properties. first, you need to find elements that are found in the same group (groups are vertical in the periodic system), and then to see whether they have the same valence number. if they meet these criteria, they will have similar properties.

the first pair: ne (neon) and kr (krypton), are noble gases found in group 8

the second pair: li (lithium) and k (potassium), found in group 1

the third pair: s (sulfur) and te (tellurium), found in group 6

the answer would be a
