Question

What is oxidation and reduction reactions? Oxidising and reducing agents?

Answer 1

In an oxidation - reduction reaction, also termed as redox reaction, electrons move between atoms.

→ In an oxidation reaction, there is a loss of electrons (cations), whereas in a reduction reaction, there is a gain of electrons (anions). 

→ Oxidising agents help in oxidation. They are elements or compounds that accept electrons. Reducing agents help in reduction. They are elements or compounds that give electrons.

☺ Hello mate__ ❤

◾◾here is your answer.

✒ OXIDISING AGENT :--

Some substances are capable of adding oxygen to others. These are known as oxidizing agents.

✒EXAMPLE OF OXIDISING AGENT:--

1) alkaline potassium permanganate

2) acidified potassium dichromate
