Answer : O_2 is the oxidizing agent and Fe is the reducing agent.

Explanation :

Reducing agent : It is defined as the agent which helps the other substance to reduce and itself gets oxidized. Thus, it will undergo oxidation reaction.

Oxidizing agent : It is defined as the agent which helps the other substance to oxidize and itself gets reduced. Thus, it will undergo reduction reaction.

The balanced redox reaction is :

4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3

The half oxidation-reduction reactions are:

Oxidation reaction : Fe\rightarrow Fe^{3+}+3e^-

Reduction reaction : O_2+4e^-\rightarrow 2O^{2-}

In order to balance the electrons, we multiply the oxidation reaction by 4 and reduction reaction by 3 then added both equation, we get the balanced redox reaction.

Oxidation reaction : 4Fe\rightarrow 4Fe^{3+}+12e^-

Reduction reaction : 3O_2+12e^-\rightarrow 6O^{2-}

4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3

In this reaction, 'Fe' is the reducing agent that loses an electron to another chemical species in a redox chemical reaction and itself gets oxidized and 'O_2' is the oxidizing agent that gain an electron to another chemical species in a redox chemical reaction and itself gets reduced.

Thus, O_2 is the oxidizing agent and Fe is the reducing agent.

Consider four elements from Group 7A: fluorine in the second period, chlorine in the third period, bromine in the fourth period,
madam [21]
Onization energy is the energy required to lose an electron and form an ion. The stronger is the attraction of the atom and the electron the higher the ionization energy, and the weaker is the attraction of the atom and the electron the higher the ionization energy. This leads to a clear trend in the periodic table. Given that the larger the atom the weaker the attraction of the atom to the valence electrons, the easier they will be released, and the lower the ionization energy. This is, as you go downward in a group, the ionization energy decreases. So, the element at the top of the group will exhibit the largest ionization energy. <span>Therefore, the answer is that of the four elements of group 7A, fluorine will have the largest first ionization energy.</span>
