ANSWER:
Solution 104P
Here, we are going to write Lewis structure of reactant and product as well as find out the oxidized and reduced form of the reactant.
Oxidation reaction is defined as the increase in oxidation state and reduction is the decrease in oxidation state.
Lewis structures of reactants
Ca: Valence electron of Ca =2
The Lewis structure of Ca is as follows.
Br2:
Valence electron of Br = 7
