Answer 1

Answer:

Chemical Reactions and Equations

Explain why sodium acts as an oxidising agent while chlorine acts as a reducing agent in the reaction, 2Na + Cl2→ 2NaCl. ... Sodium (Na) loses electrons and forms Na+ ions and thus acts as oxidising agent while chlorine gains electrons and forms Cl– ions and is thus a reducing agent.
