Answer

The reactants are: $Cl_2$ and $O_2$ The product is : $OCl_2$

Work Step by Step

Reactants: In the reactants, we can identify 2 different molecules. 1. A molecule made of 2 red spheres. 2. A molecule made of 2 green spheres. Since red spheres represent oxygen atoms, and green spheres represent chlorine atoms: 1. 2 oxygen atoms: $O_2$ 2. 2 chlorine atoms: $Cl_2$ Products: In the products, we can identify one compound: - 2 green spheres and 1 red sphere. Since red spheres represent oxygen atoms, and green spheres represent chlorine atoms: - 2 chlorine atoms, and 1 oxygen atom: $OCl_2$
