Based on periodic trends, which one of the following elements do you expect to be most easily reduced? Ca,Sr,Cl,or P and why?
I think ,it is Cl
P and Cl are in the second period; Cl lies right of P in Gr7 and so has greater electronegativity than P. Ca and Sr are iGr 2 elements, meaning both are metal and electro positive. Chlorine is the most electronegative of the four elements listed here, meaning it has the greatest capacity to accept electrons, i.e., to get reduced.

Phosphorus (P) is expected to be most easily reduced based on periodic trends. This is because as you move down a group in the periodic table, the tendency to be reduced increases due to the decreasing electronegativity and increasing atomic size.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
