Explanation:

  1. According to electronic concept-Oxidation may be defined as when the element losing the electrons is known as oxidation and Reduction may be defined as when the element gains the electrons is known as Reduction. During oxidation, the acidic nature of an element increases due to oxidation.

  • 2) Oxidation number, also called oxidation state, the total number of electrons that an atom either gains or loses in order to form a chemical bond with another atom.

  • 3) ✿Rules for Assigning Oxidation Numbers✿

  • ✾The convention is that the cation is written first in a formula, followed by the anion. ...
  • ✾The oxidation number of a free element is always 0. ...
  • ✾The oxidation number of a monatomic ion equals the charge of the ion. ...
  • ✾The usual oxidation number of hydrogen is +1.

  • 4) Oxidation is a reaction that removes an electron from a substance, reduction is a reaction that adds electrons to a substance. B. Reduction is when the total number of electrons increases in a reaction, oxidation is when the total number of electrons decreases in a reaction.
