Write a complete, balanced chemical equation where tin metal reacts with aqueous hydrochloric acid to produce tin(II) chloride and hydrogen gas. Include states. From the equation, which element is oxidized, and which element is reduced?

your answer is a. the enthalpy of formation for a pure element in its standard state is always positive.

the seeing the electronic configuration we can say that the element is fluorine.

fluorine is the most electronegative element in the periodic table.

but by only seeing the configuration we cannot say about its reactivity because we don't know if its configuration after excitation or by addition of electrons.

but if not then, it is the lightest halogen and exists as a highly toxic pale yellow diatomic gas at standard conditions. as the most electronegative element, it is extremely reactive: almost all other elements, including some noble gases, form compounds with fluorine.
