Transcribed Image Text:Consider the following reaction: Ba(s) + F2(g)
---> BaF2.
Which of the following statements is true?
Select one:
O a. The barium atom is losing electrons;
therefore, it is oxidized.
O b. The fluorine atom is losing electrons;
therefore, it is reduced.
O c. The barium atom is gaining electrons;
therefore, it is oxidized.
O d. The fluorine atom is gaining electrons;
therefore, it is oxidized.
