Explain how the atomic radius of an element is related to its chemical reactivity and ionization energy. A) Increasing atomic radii indicates increasing chemical reactivity due to decreasing ionization energy
B) Chemical reactivity remains the same while the atomic radii decreases with increasing ionization energy.
C) Increasing both the ionization energy and the atomic radii results in increasing the chemical reactivity.
D) As the atomic radii of the element decrease, the ionization energy increases and the chemical reactivity decreases

Oxidation-reduction reactions (often called "redox" for short) are reactions that involve the transfer of electrons from one species to another. oxidation states, or oxidation numbers, allow chemists to keep track of these electron transfers. in general, one element will lose electrons (oxidation), with the result that it will increase in oxidation number, and another element will gain electrons (reduction), thereby decreasing in oxidation number. the species that is oxidized is called the reducing agent or reductant. the species that is reduced is called the oxidizing agent or oxidant. to sum up: oxidation = increase in oxidation state = loss of electrons = reducing agent reduction = decrease in oxidation state = gain of electrons = oxidizing agent part a which element is oxidized in this reaction? fe2o3+3co→2fe+3co2 enter the elemental symbol. view available hint(s) is oxidized part b which element is reduced in this reaction? 2hcl+2kmno4+3h2c2o4→6co2+2mno2+2kcl+4h2o enter the elemental symbol. view available hint(s) is reduced
