Question

Define
(a)Oxidation(b) Reduction(c) Corrosion(d) Rancidity.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Oxidation adding of oxygen and removal of hydrogen is called as Oxidation.

Reduction adding of Hydrogen and removal of oxygen is called reduction.

Rancidity The development of unpleasant flavours in oils and fats as a result of oxidation.

Corrosion The slow destruction of metals by the action of moisture and air to the metals is called corrision

Answer 2

Oxidation

Oxidation is any chemical reaction that involves the moving of electrons. Oxidation is the loss of electrons during a reaction by a molecule, atom or ion.

Reduction

The electrons taken up by the substance reduced are supplied by another substance, which is thereby oxidized. See oxidation-reduction reaction.

Corrosion

Corrosion is when a refined metal is naturally converted to a more stable form such as its oxide, hydroxide or sulphide state this leads to deterioration of the material.

Rancidity

Rancidity is a condition in which the substance with oil and fats get oxidized when they are exposed to air.
