The balanced chemical equation is :
5P₄ + 36OH → 12HPO₃⁻² (aq) + 8PH₃ (acidic)
Here the oxidation number of P changed from 0 to -3 in PH₃ and increases from 0 to +3 in HPO₃⁻². When P₄ changes to PH₃ reduction reaction is taking place as there is addition of hydrogen and when P₄ changes to HPO₃⁻² oxidation takes place as there is addition of oxygen.
Thus clearly both reduction and oxidation are taking place.
Thus, we can infer that here P₄ is both oxidizing as well as reducing agent.

Answer (2)
hope this helps!
Answer:
Fluorine
Explanation:
Fluorine has 9 total electrons. The first two are in the 1s level, and the remaining electrons are on the outer level of the atom, with 2 in the s level and 5 in the p level. The electron configuration is 1s2 2s2 2p5.
