Question

sodium chloride is formed in the reaction of sodium with chlorine.
On the basis of gain or loss of electrons explain which one is reduced​

Answer 1

Answer:

One way to define oxidation is with the reaction in which a chemical substance loses electrons in going from reactant to product. For example, when sodium metal reacts with chlorine gas to form sodium chloride (NaCl), the sodium metal loses an electron, which is then gained by chlorine.
