Hydrogen gas is produced when dilute hydrochloric acid is added to a reactive metal.
Balanced molecular equation of sodim metal with hydrochloric acid:
2Na(s) + 2HCl(aq) → 2NaCl(aq) + H₂(g).
Ionic equation: 2Na(s) + 2H⁺(aq) + 2Cl⁻(aq) → 2Na⁺ + 2Cl⁻(aq) + H₂(g).
Net ionic equation: 2Na(s) + 2H⁺(aq) → 2Na⁺(aq) + H₂(g).
Sodium is oxidized from oxidation number 0 (Na) to oxidation number +1, hydrogen is reduced from oxidation number +1 to oxidation number 0 (hydrogen gas H₂).
Another example:
Balanced chemical equation: Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) → ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g)
Word equation: zinc + hydrochloric acid → zinc chloride + hydrogen gas

Answer:
It is reactive because it has to gain an electron to have a full outermost energy level.
Explanation:
The electron configuration of oxygen is 1s2,2s2 2p4.
Oxygen is in group six in the periodic table so it has six electrons in its valence shell. This means that it needs to gain two electrons to obey the octet rule and have a full outer shell of electrons (eight).
Answer is: sodium (Na) and iodine (I₂).

First ionic bonds in this salt are separeted
because of heat:
</span>NaI(l) → Na⁺(l) + I⁻(l).
Reaction of reduction
at cathode(-): Na⁺(l) + e⁻ → Na(l) /×2.
2Na⁺(l) + 2e⁻ → 2Na(l).
Reaction of oxidation
at anode(+): 2I⁻(l) → I₂(l) + 2e⁻.
The anode is positive
and the cathode is negative.
Scientific laws and theories have different jobs to do. A scientific law predicts the results of certain initial conditions. ... In contrast, a theory tries to provide the most logical explanation about why things happen as they do.
homeostatic imbalance is the answer, because it's when the internal environment cannot remain in equilibrium.
