In the reaction between bromine and sodium, a bromine atom gains an electron. What ion is formed? Is the bromine oxidized, or is it reduced?





Thank You ^_^

Sodium loses an electron to become a sodium ion, the bromine gains an electron to become the bromide ion. Na is the reducing agent (it is oxidized) while bromine is the oxidizing agent (it is reduced). Loss of electrons is oxidation; gain of electrons is reduction.

16. Double replacement reaction is potassium nitrate and silver bromide.
17. Sodium becomes sodium ion and bromine becomes bromide ion. Bromine is the oxidizing agent.
