Answer:Gained, Lost , Shared
Explanation:
The oxidation state tells you how many electrons an atom has GAINED.................. , LOST....................... , or SHARED........................ , in forming a compound.
Oxidation state is defined as the the total number of electrons that an atom gains or loses when forming a chemical bond with another atom.
----To form an ionic bond for example in NaCl, Na, with 11 electrons and one valence electron in its outermost shell donates or lose that valence electron to Chlorine with 17 electron and 7 in its outermost shell. Therefore Sodium, Na acquires the +1 oxidaton state to become stable and Chlorine acquires the -1 oxidation state to become stable forming the NaCl compound.
To form a covalent compound, There must be sharing of electrons between atoms.For example, in PCl3, The phosphorous atom with atomic number 15 shares its three unpaired electrons with the single valence electrons of three chlorine atoms. making the four molecules to attain stability with Phosphorous having +3 and the chlorine atoms having -1 oxidation states
Lithium metal reacts with nitrogen gas to form lithium nitride the balanced chemical equation will be 6Li + N₂ → 2Li₃N.
<h3>What is a balanced chemical reaction?</h3>
In a balanced chemical reaction, the number of moles that are present at the side of the reactant must be always equal to the side of product formation this is known as a balanced chemical equation.
The balanced chemical reaction will be 6Li + N₂ → 2Li₃N.
Here 6 moles of lithium is reacting with one nitrogen but as it is in gaseous state it is N₂ after reacting with lithium it will give two moles
Therefore, balanced equation will be 6Li + N₂ → 2Li₃N
