Justify that the following reactions are redox reactions : 2K(s)+F_(2

1.	Justify that the following reactions are redox reactions : 2K(s)+F_(2)(g)to2K^(+)F^(-)(s)
Answer» SOLUTION :`2Koverset(0)((s))+F_(2)overset(0)((g))to2overset(+1)(K^(+))overset(-1)(F^(-))(s)` In this reaction, K is UNDERGOING oxidation as its O.S. increases from 0 to +1, whereas `F_(2)` is undergoing reduction because its O.S. decreases from 0 to - 1. Hence, it is a redox reaction.
