Question

what do you mean by oxidation and reduction reaction ? give an example​

Answer 1

Explanation:

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. The formation of hydrogen fluoride is an example of a redox reaction. We can break the reaction down to analyze the oxidation and reduction of reactants.

Answer 2

Answer:

Oxidation reaction: The reaction in which oxygen is gained or hydrogen is lost, is called oxidation reaction.

Eg:- 2Mg + O2 ------^ 2MgO

Reduction reaction. The reaction in which hydrogen is gained or oxygen is lost, is called reduction reaction.

Eg:- H2 + B2 ------^ HBr
