The oxidation is occurring on Calcium ions as it release one electron and reduction will be occurring on fluorine ion as it accepts one electron.
<u>Explanation:</u>
An element will undergo oxidation and form a positive ion on releasing one or more electrons from its valence shell. While reduction is occurred in a chemical reaction, then the element will be forming a negative ion with the acceptance of one or more electrons in its valence shell.
So in the given process of calcium fluoride, the one electron from the valence shell of calcium will be released making it as ions and this is termed as oxidation process. This one electron will be getting accepted by the fluorine ion and thus it will convert to
ions. This process of acceptance of electrons is termed as reduction.
<u>Answer:</u> The equation is given below.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Single replacement reactions are the chemical reactions in which more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its chemical reaction. General equation for these reactions is given by the equation:
Metal A is more reactive than metal B.
The reactivity of metals is judged with the help of reactivity series. In this series, the metals lying above are more reactive than the metals which lie below in the series.
For the reaction of solid lithium metal and nitric acid, the equation follows:
This is a type of single replacement reaction because Lithium (more reactive metal) is replacing Hydrogen (less reactive metal) from the chemical reaction.
