The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Which type of atom is expected in the reactants of this chemical reaction?  

[tex]4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3[/tex]

A. Iron (Fe)  

B. Gold (Au)

C. Nitrogen (N)

D. Chlorine (Cl)

Answer: The atom which is expected as the reactant in the given chemical reaction is iron (Fe)

Explanation:

In a chemical equation, the chemical species are termed as reactants or products.

  • Reactants are defined as the species which react in the reaction and are written on the left side of the reaction arrow.
  • Products are defined as the species which are produced in the reaction and are written on the right side of the reaction arrow.

For the given chemical reaction:

[tex]4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3[/tex]

The reactants to the given chemical reaction are iron (Fe) metal and oxygen gas [tex](O_2)[/tex]

The products to the given chemical reaction is iron (III) oxide [tex](Fe_2O_3)[/tex]

Hence, the atom which is expected as the reactant in the given chemical reaction is iron (Fe)
