Need a. s.a. p. describe the redox reaction. check all that apply. 2na(s) + cl2(g) → 2nacl(s) -sodium atoms are oxidized. -chlorine atoms lose electrons. -chlorine is the reducing agent. -sodium transfers electrons to chlorine. -sodium chloride is the oxidizing agent.

A redox (reduction-oxidation) reaction is a chemical reaction which involves loss or gain i.e transfer of electrons between two interacting systems.

The atom which loses electrons is said to have undergone oxidation and is termed as a reducing agent.

While the corresponding atom which gains electron undergoes reduction and is termed as an oxidising agent.

In this case we have:

2Na(s) + Cl2(g) → 2NaCl(s)

Here: The oxidation state of Na changes from 0 to +1

The oxidation state of Cl changes from 0 to -1

Thus, Na atoms loses electron and get oxidized

Cl atoms gain electron and get reduced.

The correct options are:

-Sodium atoms are oxidized

-Sodium transfers electrons to chlorine

a. a clone will be physically identical to the original, but won’t be genetically identical

have a good day!
