Read the following redox reaction and determine which reactant is reduced and which is oxidized.

[tex] F_{2} [/tex]+Zn yields Zn[tex] F_{2} [/tex]
This equation shows that [tex] F_{2} [/tex] is _, (reduced/oxidized)
and Zn is _. (reduced/oxidized)

remember this, LEO says GER

LEO---> lose electrons= oxidation
GER---> gain electrons= reduction

in the reaction, we can see that Zn, which is solid, has a charge of zero. when it becomes a product in ZnF₂, mean it lose an electron to form that bond with F. This means Zn is oxidized, and by default, F2 is reduced.
