Question

Define oxidation and reduction reactions.

Answer 1

Answer:

Oxidation and reduction reactions:

Oxidation and reduction can be described in many ways. The two common ways of describing oxidation and reduction are:

• In terms of gain or lo8of oxygen or hydrogen.
• In terms of loss or gain of electrons.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Redox is a type of chemical reaction in which the oxidation states of atoms are changed. Redox reactions are characterized by the transfer of electrons between chemical species, most often with one species undergoing oxidation while another species undergoes reduction. ❤️❤️

Oxidation is a process in which a chemical substance changes because of the addition of oxygen. ❤️❤️❤️

reduction-- Reduction involves a half-reaction in which a chemical species decreases its oxidation number, usually by gaining electrons. The other half of the reaction involves oxidation, in which electrons are lost. Together, reduction and oxidation form redox reactions (reduction-oxidation = redox). Reduction may be considered the opposite process of oxidation.
