The reaction is:
<span>4Li(s) + O2 (g) = 2Li+ + 2O-2(s).
The oxidizing agent is the one that is being reduced which is oxygen where the charge changed from neutral to -2 while the reducing agent is the on being oxidized which is lithium where the charge change from neutral to +1.</span>
Answer:
2l- ---> l2 + 2e- is the anode
2H+ + 2e- ---> H2(g) is the cathode
Explanation:
Oxidation occurs when a metal loses two or more electrons in a redox chemical reaction and reduction is when it gains. Thus, oxidation is the anode and reduction is the cathode.
All elements can be classified as metals, metalloids, or nonmetals
