Explanation:
Elements in the same group have same number of valence electrons. And we know, the elements which have same number of valence electrons, have similar physical and chemical properties. Hence, the elements in the same group have similar physical and chemical properties.
Answer:
B) is reduced.
Explanation:
Oxidation:
Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.
Reduction:
Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.
Consider the following reactions.
4KI + 2CuCl₂ → 2CuI + I₂ + 4KCl
the oxidation state of copper is changed from +2 to +1 so copper get reduced and it is oxidizing agent.
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 and it is reducing gent.
Oxidizing agents:
Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.
Reducing agents:
Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized.
