Chlorine react vigorously with hydrogen in the present of sunlight because chlorine has a great attraction for hydrogen's electron. During the reaction, chlorine and hydrogen will donate one electron each from their valence electrons which will be shared equally by both elements, thus forming a covalent bond.
If you have to write the chemical formula of a simple, binary ionic compound given the name of the compound, you follow a set of three steps. Let's go through them using magnesium chloride as an example. Write the symbols for the cation and the anion: Mg and Cl. Determine the charge on the cation and anion.
If u are multiplaying it would be 80 percent more likely
or if u are subtracting it would be 20 percent
Answer:
O.
Explanation:
- The element which is oxidized is the element that losses electrons and its oxidation state be more positive.
- The element which is reduced is the element that gain electrons and its oxidation state be more negative.
<em> O goes from 0 to -2, so, it is the element that is reduced.</em>
