Answer: the second option: <span>Iron is being oxidized
</span>
Explanation:
1) Oxidation is the increase of the oxidation state (number) due to the loss of electrons.
2) In the given reaction, you can see that in the left side the atom is Fe.
When an element (atom) is not combined (or combined with it self) its oxidation state is 0.
3) In the right side of the given equation you that iron is now in form of cation with charge 2+: Fe²⁺.
That means that the new oxidation state of the element is 2+.
4) This change in the oxidation state, of course, is accompanied by the loss of the two electrons: 2e⁻.
5) Conclusion: the iron has oxidized by losing two electrons and increasing its oxidation state from 0 to 2+.

When water is turned into vapor (a gas), that is called evaporation.
Hope this helps. :)
Answer:
Explanation:
SF4 forms a trigonal bipyramidal shape and its molecular shape is that of a "see-saw".
Since sulfur is in 3rd period, it violates the octet rule and has more than 8 electrons accompanying its valence shell.
Here's a picture of lewis structure and electron geometry.
