A redox (reduction-oxidation) reaction is a chemical reaction which involves loss or gain i.e transfer of electrons between two interacting systems.
The atom which loses electrons is said to have undergone oxidation and is termed as a reducing agent.
While the corresponding atom which gains electron undergoes reduction and is termed as an oxidising agent.
In this case we have:
2Na(s) + Cl2(g) → 2NaCl(s)
Here: The oxidation state of Na changes from 0 to +1
The oxidation state of Cl changes from 0 to -1
Thus, Na atoms loses electron and get oxidized
Cl atoms gain electron and get reduced.
The correct options are:
-Sodium atoms are oxidized
-Sodium transfers electrons to chlorine
A type of chemical reaction in which the species of the atom or compound loses and gains electrons by transferring the electrons from the reactants and products is called a redox reaction.
Sodium atoms get oxidized and transfer the electrons to the chlorine atom.
What is a redox reaction?
The atom of the compounds of the reactants undergoes oxidation to lose electrons and gets reduced while the atoms that undergo reduction gains electrons and gets oxidized.
In the reaction,
[tex]\rm 2Na(s) + Cl_{2}(g) \rightarrow 2NaCl(s)[/tex]
The oxidation number of the sodium atom changes from 0 to +1, while the oxidation number of chlorine gas changes from 0 to -1.
From this, it can be inferred that the sodium atoms lost electrons and got oxidized, while the chlorine atom gained electrons and got reduced.
Therefore, options A and D are correct.
