Answer:

Explanation:

it can be observed that the reactant an electron was removed from the reactant A, and this reactant is oxidized. Similarly, reactant B was handed an electron and was therefore reduced.

The loss of electrons and the corresponding increase in the oxidation state of a given reactant is called oxidation. The gain of electrons and the corresponding decrease in the oxidation state of a reactant is called reduction.

Electron-accepting species which tend to undergo a reduction in redox reactions are called oxidizing agents. An electron-donating species which tends to hand over electrons can be referred to as a reducing agent. These species tend to undergo oxidation. It can be noted that any redox reaction can be broken down into two half-reactions, namely the oxidation half-reaction and the reduction half-reaction.

When writing these half-reactions separately, each of them must be balanced in a way that all the electrons are accounted for.

When an ion is gained(consumed) during reaction i.e. (+1 ion) is written on left side , then its reduction .

When an ion is losed(released) during reaction i.e. (+1 ion) is written on right side , then its oxidation .
