Consider the redox reaction below talking place in certain electro chemical cell: Cu(s)+cu^2+(aq) > Cu^2+(aq) + Cu (s)

cu+2 oxidation whereas Cu reduction.

Explanation:

In the reaction, cu+2 is the place where oxidation occurs because this cupric ion losses electrons  which causes +2 charge on it. we know that oxidation is the loss of electrons and reduction is the gaining of electrons so the Cu is the place or atom at which reduction occurs. Electrochemical cells have two electrodes, which is anode and the cathode. The anode is the electrode where oxidation occurs whereas the cathode is the electrode where reduction takes place.

answer: option (b) is the correct answer.

explanation:

a covalent bond is formed by sharing of electrons. whereas polarity arises due to difference in electronegativity of two atoms.

therefore, more is the electronegativity of an atom which combines with the titanium, more readily it will induce a partial positive and negative charge.

thus, out of the given options fluorine is most electronegative and has an incomplete octet. therefore, it will readily combine with titanium to share the electrons and complete its octet.
