Question

The reaction between calcium and nitrogen to form calcium nitride is a redox reaction. In terms of electron transfer, explain why calcium is the reducing agent?


the how will ans I will follow him plz I have exam ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

because electrons of calcium is 20.so,the oxidation state of calcium is +2 so, calcium is reducing agent

Answer 2

Explanation:

Calcium is an excellent reducing agents and is widely used for this purpose calcium metal and most calcium compounds are nontoxic.All the elements present in group 2 have a+2 charge is.from the charge ,it is evident that calcium involved in bonding by losing 2Electrons .As Ca is oxidized to,it acts as a reducing agents as it makes reduction to happen
