2K + Br2 ==> 2KBr
What is oxidation? The loss of electrons. (This is also the reducing agent).
The gain of electrons is reduction. This is also the oxidizing agent.
K goes from an oxidation state of zero to +1. Br goes from an oxidation state of zero to -1.

Why wouldn't it be KBr? Why are the twos added? How come its not just K + Br ==> KBr since their charges cancel out? Help!

because Bromine is one of the 7 Diatomic molecules.....so it is understood as Br2
