<u>Answer: </u>The correct answer is Option b.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Oxidizing agent is defined as the chemical reagent which helps the other chemical compound to get oxidized and itself gets reduced. The oxidation state for these species gets reduced because they are undergoing reduction reaction.
For the given chemical equation:
Oxidation state of Chromium is getting reduced from +6 to +3 and oxidation state of chlorine getting increased from -1 to 0.
Hence, acts like and oxidizing agent because it is itself getting reduced to
Therefore, the correct answer is Option b.
An isotope of ₂₀⁴⁰X ⇒₂₀⁴⁴X
<h3>Further explanation </h3>The elements in nature have several types of isotopes
Isotopes are atoms that have the same number of protons and a different number of neutrons.
So Isotopes are elements that have the same Atomic Number (Proton)
In the following element notation,
X = symbol of elemental atom
A = mass number
= number of protons + number of neutrons
Z = atomic number
= number of protons = number of electrons, on neutral elements
For symbol of isotope X :
₂₀X⁴⁰ : atomic number = 20, mass number = 40
A. ₄₀²⁰X : atomic number = 40, mass number = 20, neutrons=20
B. ₂₀⁴⁰X²⁺ : atomic number = 20, mass number = 40, neutrons=20
C. ₂₁⁴⁰X : atomic number = 21, mass number = 40, neutrons=19
D. ₂₀⁴⁴X : atomic number = 20, mass number = 44, neutrons=22
