Communication will be the answer
Answer: D
Explanation:
A reducing agent is a species that reduces other compounds, and is thereby oxidized. The whole compound becomes the reducing agent. In other words, of a compound is oxidized, then they are the reducing agent. On the other hand, if the compound is reduced, it is an ozidizing agent.
Since we have established that a reducing agent is the compound being oxidized, we know that A is not our answer. An oxidized compound is losing electrons. Choice A states exactly this.
For B, this is true as we have established this already.
C is also correct. Since a reducing agent loses electrons, it becomes more positive. This makes the oxidation number increase.
D would be our correct answer. It is actually a good oxidizing agent is a metal in a high oxidation state, such as Mn⁷⁺.

Answer:
Carbon and Oxygen, Argon and Helium.
Explanation:
noble gases have full outer shells of electrons, and so cannot share other atoms' electrons to form bonds. sodium and chlorine form an ionic bond.
We have as a reagent a salt, lead nitrate (Pb(NO3)2), and an unknown solution that gives us as a product lead chloride (PbCl2). That is, the solution must contain chlorine.
If a chlorine solution is used we will have the following reaction:

So, with a chlorine solution, we will have a white precipitate of lead chloride.
