Potassium (at No. 19) and chlorine (at No. 17) react to form a compound. On the basis of electronic concept, explain
(ii)Reduction

Open in App

Solution

Potassium and chlorine react to form a compound, Potassium chloride(KCl).
Reaction involved for this is :- 2K + $C l_{2}$ → 2KCl
Reduction: In the electronic concept, the reduction is a process in which an atom or ion accepts electron(s).
$C l_{2}$ + $2 e^{-}$ → $2 C l^{-}$ (Gain of electron)
