Question

Can oxidation reaction take place alone ??? Explain with help of an example .

Answer 1

Answer:

please mark me as brainliest

Explanation:

No,oxidation and reduction cannot take place alone. Because oxidation is loss of electrons while reduction is gain of electrons. So we need a element or compound which lose electrons and give it to another one. The one which loses electron is reducing agent and which gains electron is oxidizing agent.

Answer 2

Explanation:

When electrons are lost by one atom, they must be gained by another element. Therefore oxidation and reduction cannot occur alone. If one occurs, the other must occur also. Reactions involving oxidation and reduction are called redox reactions.
