Answer:
When Reduction and Oxidation takes place they are together called Redox reaction .
Reduction + Oxidation = Redox .
Reduction : There is a gain of H ( hydrogen )
2) Loss of Oxygen.
3) Gain of electron .
Oxidation : .There is a Loss of H ( hydrogen )
2) Gain of Oxygen
3) Loss of electron
Reduced : Oxidizing agent .
Oxidized : Reducing agent .
Eg : ZnO + C = Zn + CO
{ZnO is reduced. } ( CO is oxidized )
so ZnO is oxidizing agent and CO is reducing agent here .
