Question

define a) oxidation b) reduction iii) oxidising agent iv) reducing agent​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Oxidation

Oxidation is defined as a loss of Hydrogen, Gain of oxygen increase in Oxidation no

Reduction

Reduction is defined as a loss of oxygen, gain kf Hydrogen and decrease in oxidation no

Oxidisng agents

Oxidisng agents are compound which himself get reduced but oxidised other one

Reducing agent

Reducing agent are compound which himself get oxidised but reduce other one

Answer 2

Answer:

oxidation:- Oxidation is a process in which a chemical substance changes because of the addition of oxygen.

reduction:-Reduction, any of a class of chemical reactions in which the number of electrons associated with an atom or a group of atoms is increased. The electrons taken up by the substance reduced are supplied by another substance, which is thereby oxidized.

reducing agent:-A substance which loses electrons to other substances in a redox reaction and gets oxidized to the higher valency state is called a reducing agent. A reducing agent is one of the reactants of an oxidation-reduction reaction which reduces the other reactant by giving out electrons to the reactant.

oxidising agent:- An oxidizing agent, or oxidant, gains electrons and is reduced in a chemical reaction. Also known as the electron acceptor, the oxidizing agent is normally in one of its higher possible oxidation states because it will gain electrons and be reduced
