Answer

Reactant: $HI$ Products: $H_2$ and $I_2$

Work Step by Step

Reactants: In the reactants, we can identify 1 type of compound. - A molecule made of 1 purple sphere, and 1 white sphere. Since purple spheres represent iodine atoms, and white spheres represent hydrogen atoms: - 1 iodine atom and 1 hydrogen atom: $HI$. Products: In the products, we can identify two different compounds: - 2 purple spheres. - 2 white spheres. Since purple spheres represent iodine atoms, and white spheres represent hydrogen atoms: - 2 iodine atoms: $I_2$ - 2 hydrogen atoms: $H_2$
