Write a word equation and a skeleton equation for each of the following descriptions of chemical reactions:

solid lithium reacts with chlorine gas to produce solid lithium chloride

1) Lithium + chlorine  →  Lithium chloride

2) Li + Cl₂   →   LiCl

Explanation:

Skeleton equation:

Li + Cl₂   →   LiCl

Skeleton equation with physical states:

Li(s) + Cl₂(g)   →   LiCl(s)

Balanced equation:

2Li(s) + Cl₂(g)  →   2LiCl(s)

Word equation:

Lithium + chlorine  →  Lithium chloride

When solid lithium react with gaseous chlorine it form lithium chloride. The oxidation state of lithium is +1 while that of chlorine is -1. Thus one atom of lithium and one atom of chlorine are combined to make overall compound neutral and both are in stable state.

the answers would be

the first one and the second one
