Answer

(a)$2Li+Cl_2\rightarrow 2LiCl$ (b)$2K+F_2\rightarrow 2KF$ (c)$2Na+I_2\rightarrow 2NaI$

Work Step by Step

(a)Li reacts with $Cl_2$ to form LiCl(Li lose an electron and Cl gain an electron): $Li+Cl_2\rightarrow LiCl$ (balance Cl by having $1Cl_2$ as reactant and 2LiCl as product) $Li+Cl_2\rightarrow 2LiCl$ (balance Li by having 2Li as reactant and 2LiCl as product) $2Li+Cl_2\rightarrow 2LiCl$ (b)K reacts with $F_2$ to form KF(K loses an electron and F gains an electron): $K+F_2\rightarrow KF$ (balance F by having $1F_2$ as reactant and 2KF as product) $K+F_2\rightarrow 2KF$ (balance K by having 2K as reactant and 2KF as product) $2K+F_2\rightarrow 2KF$ (c)Na reacts with $I_2$ to form NaI(Na loses an electron and I gain an electron): $Na+I_2\rightarrow NaI$ (balance I by having $1I_2$ as reactant and 2NaI as product) $Na+I_2\rightarrow 2NaI$ (balance Na by having 2Na as reactant and 2NaI as product) $2Na+I_2\rightarrow 2NaI$
