NOW A DAYS IT IS THOUGHT THAT OXIDATION IS SIMPLY DECREASE IN ELECTRON DENSITY AND REDUCTION IS INCREASE IN ELECTRON DENSITY HOW WOULD YOU JUSTIFY THIS
Answers
Explanation:
Cleaning your nails
Acetone is a versatile chemical used both in manufacture of plastics and as a solvent. It is a major constituent of such products as nail polish remover, paints, and cleaning fluids. The manufacture of acetone involves formation of an intermediate peroxide compound by oxidation, followed by formation of the final product.
Molecular Redox Reactions
The electron loss and gain is easy to see in a reaction in which ions are formed. However, in many reactions, no such electron transfer occurs. In a molecular compound, electrons are shared between atoms in a type of bond called a covalent bond. Yet it is still common for reactions involving molecular compounds to still be classified as redox reactions.
When hydrogen gas is reacted with oxygen gas, water is formed as the product.
2text{H}_2(g)+text{O}_2(g) rightarrow 2text{H}_2text{O}(l)
In the individual hydrogen molecules, a pair of bonding electrons is shared equally between the hydrogen atoms (a nonpolar covalent bond). Likewise, the bonding electrons in the oxygen m
molecule are also shared equally between the two oxygen atoms. However, when the atoms are rearranged to form the water molecule, the electron sharing is no longer equal. In each hydrogen-oxygen bond in the water molecule, the bonding electrons are more attracted to the oxygen atom than they are to the hydrogen atom. We know this because oxygen has a higher electronegativity than hydrogen.
Although hydrogen and oxygen are nonpolar, water is very polar
I hope it will help you have a nice day
