I’m pretty sure A. if not i’m sorry
Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
A polymer is a large molecule which contains repeating units.
A polymer forms long chain of atoms which are not necessarily arranged in a ring structure. There are not only double bonds between all the carbon atoms, as there can be single bonds or triple bonds between the atoms of a polymer.
A polymer does not contain many different type of molecules as there are many repeating units and not many molecules in a polymer.
A polymer is made of large molecules with repeating units.
Thus, we can conclude that option (D) is the correct answer.
In the given reaction fluorine is reduced and chlorine is oxidized.
<h3>What is oxidation and reduction?</h3>
Oxidation is a process in which addition of oxygen or removal of hydrogen and electron takes place, while reduction is a process in which addition of hydrogen & electrons or removal of oxygen takes place.
Given chemical reaction is:
F₂ + 2HCl → Cl₂ + 2HF
- In the above reaction fluorine is reduced as it accepts an electron and increase in it its oxidation state takes from 0 to -1, which shows reduction.
- In the reaction chlorine is oxidized as it losses an electron and decrease in its oxidation state takes from -1 to 0, which shows oxidation.
- Oxidation half reaction is:
F₂ + 2e⁻ → 2F⁻
- Reduction half reaction is:
2Cl⁻ → Cl₂ + 2e⁻
Hence, fluorine is reduced and chlorine is oxidized in the given reaction.
