Hola mate,
Here is your answer (◠‿・)—☆
Sodium is an oxidising agent whereas Chlorine acts as a reducing agent.
Sodium looses electrons and forms and thus it acts as an oxidising agent while chlorine gains electrons and becomes 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 :-
In this given example oxygen is reduced by lossing oxygen atoms.
