pls give short Answer on
oxidation, reduction and redox reaction
Answers
Answer:
This is the answer.
Explanation:
Redox reactions are reactions in which one species is reduced and another is oxidized. Therefore the oxidation state of the species involved must change.
An oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction is a type of chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons between two species. An oxidation-reduction reaction is any chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a molecule, atom, or ion changes by gaining or losing an electron.
Reduction: (1) Any process in which there is a increase in the number of covalent bonds between an atom and atom(s) that are less electronegative. ... Combustion of methane is an oxidation because there is an increase (from zero to four) in number of bonds between carbon (EN = 2.5) and oxygen (EN = 3.5).
