Half equation
''Write a half equation for the formation of chloride ions from chlorine''
Cl2 + 2e? ----> 2Cl?
that is the answer ^^ (chlorine gaining electrons)
however, could you write:
CL2 ----> 2CL+2e- (chloride losing electrons)
As the question doesn't specify which one?
Cl2 + 2e? ----> 2Cl?
that is the answer ^^ (chlorine gaining electrons)
however, could you write:
CL2 ----> 2CL+2e- (chloride losing electrons)

First one should read:
Cl2 + 2e --> 2Cl-
The second one is wrong...
It should read:
2Cl- - 2e --> Cl2
or
2Cl- --> Cl2 + 2e
And, yes both are correct. One is just the reverse of the other. By convention we write the half equations as reductions:
Cl2 + 2e --> 2Cl-
