Question

Point out the difference between -
Oxidation and deduction.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

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. The opposite process is called reduction/deduction, which occurs when there is a gain of electrons or the oxidation state of an atom, molecule, or ion decreases.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Difference between Oxidation and Reduction

OXIDATION                                                        REDUCTION

Losing electrons                                          Gaining electrons

Increase in oxidation number                  Decrease in oxidation number

For a given compound losing hydrogen  For a given compound gaining
