Answer:
The atom is oxidized is Ca.
Explanation:
- The oxidation-reduction reaction contains a reductant and an oxidant (oxidizing agent).
- The oxidation process is the process in which electrons are lost and produce positively charged ions.
- The reduction process is the process in which electrons is gained and negatively charge ions are produced.
- In the reaction of chlorine with calcium:
<em>Ca + Cl₂ → CaCl₂,</em>
Ca loses 2 electrons and is oxidized to Ca²⁺. (Ca <em>→</em> Ca²⁺ + 2e).
Cl is gains 2 electrons in "Cl₂, oxidation state zero" and is reduced to Cl⁻. (Cl₂ + 2e <em>→</em> 2Cl⁻).
