Question

define oxidation, reduction oxidining agent & reducing agent with example​

Answer 1

Answer:

Oxidation :- Oxidation is the loss of electrons during a reaction by a molecule, atom or ion.

• Oxidation occurs when the oxidation state of a molecule, atom or ion is increased.
• H2+ F2 → 2 HF

Answer 2

In terms of oxygen transfer, oxidation may be defined as the chemical process in which a substance gains oxygen or loses electrons and hydrogen. When one of the reactants is oxygen, then oxidation is the gain of oxygen. Reduction is a loss of oxygen. For example: Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO.


An oxidizing agent is substance which oxidizes something else. In the above example, the iron(III) oxide is the oxidizing agent. A reducing agent reduces something else. In the equation, the carbon monoxide is the reducing agent.
