Question

hydrogen and nitrogen combine to form ammonia. when nitrogen and hydrogen bond, nitrogen pulls the electrons from hydrogen toward itself. which statement about the reactants is correct? (1 point)
o hydrogen is oxidized, and nitrogen is reduced.
o hydrogen gains electrons, and nitrogen is reduced.
o hydrogen is reduced, and nitrogen is oxidized.

Explanation:

Oxidation is the loss of electrons, and reduction is the gain of electrons. Since nitrogen pulls electrons from hydrogen, hydrogen loses electrons (oxidized) and nitrogen gains electrons (reduced).

Answer:

Hydrogen is oxidized, and nitrogen is reduced.
