Question

what is the reverse of oxidation​

Answer 1

Answer:

Reduction means what it says: the oxidation number is reduced in reduction. This is accomplished by adding electrons. The electrons, being negative, reduce the overall oxidation number of the atom receiving the electrons. Oxidation is the reverse process: the oxidation number of an atom is increased during oxidation.
