Answer 2

Hola mate,

Here is your answer (◠‿・)—☆

$\red{2Na + Cl_2 \longrightarrow 2NaCl}$

Sodium is an oxidising agent whereas Chlorine acts as a reducing agent.

Sodium looses electrons and forms $\red{ {Na}^{+}}$ and thus it acts as an oxidising agent while chlorine gains electrons and becomes $\red{{Cl}^{-}}$ ions and thus is an reducing agent.

Additional information :-

• The oxidising agent is a substance that causes oxidation by accepting electrons ; and therefore it's oxidation state decreases.

• The reducing agent is a substance that causes reduction by losing electrons ; therefore oxidation state increases.

For example :- $\green{2Mg + O_2 \longrightarrow 2MgO}$

In this given example oxygen is reduced by lossing oxygen atoms.
