everyone. So I asked is a given reaction to redox reaction. And if it is, we need to identify the wreck and that is an oxidizing agent. And the reaction that is a reducing agent. Recall that the loss of electrons, its oxidation and this would be the reducing agent in the gain of electrons is reduction. This will be an oxidizing agent. So if we look at the changes in the oxidation states for sodium, It's gonna be a -2. There's gonna be a plus one Now. Plus one. That is gonna be a plus one here. There's gonna be a negative one and a plus one here. So this is gonna be a plus one. So there's no change for oxygen. We're going from a -2. This integrity here And a plus one here To a -2. So there's no change for hydrogen. We're going from a plus one Plus one here. One here, two, a plus one. There's no change. And for chlorine, We're going from -1 Well - here. There's no change since there are no changes in oxidation states. This is not a redox reaction. Thanks for watching my video and I hope it was helpful
