Answer:
Reduction
Explanation:
Reduction:
Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.
Mn⁺⁷ +3e⁻ → Mn⁴⁺
Mn gets three electrons , its oxidation state reduced from +7 to +4 so Mn gets reduced.
Examples:
Consider the following reactions.
4KI + 2CuCl₂ → 2CuI + I₂ + 4KCl
the oxidation state of copper is changed from +2 to +1 so copper get reduced.
CO + H₂O → CO₂ + H₂
the oxidation state of carbon is +2 on reactant side and on product side it becomes +4 so carbon get oxidized.
H₂S + 2NaOH → Na₂S + 2H₂O
The oxidation sate of sulfur is -2 on reactant side and in product side it is also -2 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.
Calcium = 1
Sulfur = 1
Oxygen = 4

<h3>
<u>ANSWER</u></h3>
2. Neon, only
<h3>
<u>EXPLANATION</u></h3>
When Na and F combine they form an electron configuration of 2-8. Na electron configuration is 2-8-1 while F is 2-7, so when they form an ionic bond F will gain Na outermost electron to complete its valence shell due to having a higher negativity. Neon has an electron configuration of 2-8 but argon has 2-8-8.
