Question

Introduction electron transfer and oxygen atom transfer

Answer 1

Answer:

In an electron transfer reaction, an element undergoing oxidation loses electrons, whereas an element gaining electrons undergoes reduction. In the aluminum‐oxygen example, the aluminum was oxidized, and the oxygen was reduced because every electron transfer reaction involves simultaneous oxidation and reduction.

Explanation:

as we know guys that oxygen electronic configuration is 2,6. therefore its valency is 2 and it give two electrons to to other element to satisfy their configuration and being stable
