Question

Differentiate reduction and oxidation. Explain any three types of redox reaction
with suitable examples

Answer 1

Answer:

redox reaction:

Redox reactions are oxidation-reduction chemical reactions in which the reactants undergo a change in their oxidation states. The term ‘redox’ is a short form of reduction-oxidation. All the redox reactions can be broken down into two different processes – a reduction process and an oxidation process.The oxidation and reduction reactions always occur simultaneously in the redox reaction or Oxidation-Reduction reaction. The substance getting reduced in a chemical reaction is known as the oxidizing agent, while a substance that is getting oxidized is known as the reducing agent.

The different types of redox reactions are:

type:

Decomposition Reaction

Combination Reaction

Displacement Reaction

example: A few examples of redox reactions, along with their oxidation and reduction half-reactions are provided in this subsection.

Answer 2

Answer:

Reduction is when the total number of electrons increases in a reaction, oxidation is when the total number of electrons decreases in a reaction. C. Reduction is a reaction that removes an electron from a substance, oxidation is a reaction that adds electrons to a substance.

if one species is oxidized in a reaction, another must be reduced. Keep this in mind as we look at the five main types of redox reactions: combination, decomposition, displacement, combustion, and disproportion.
