when electrons are gained by an element then it is said to be oxidization or reduction?
thanks :)
YASH3100:
Hola dear well don't worry I'll clear you confusion, the gaining of electron by any element is termed as reduction this is because let's say you have Na+ so when Na+ accepts an electron it would become Na atom (neutral) so in this case the oxidation no of Na+ was +1 and after accepting an electron it became 0 ie neutral so whenever there is a decrease in oxidation nos then it is called as reduction
Such elements undergo REDUCTION and are known as OXIDIZING AGENT.
Thank you so much!
Hope you got it dear :) and most welcome :)
Nicely explained brother
Thank you brother

Reduction is the process of gain of electrons
which ans is correct tho?
I would obviously say that mine is correct...:D
but u can check it out on the net
duh..
i got confused
well ..I am pretty sure it is reduction
I am sure u know that addition of hydrogen atom is also called reduction...since it is electropositive(nearly) the atom to which it is added would gain electrons...so reduction is the gain of electrons
this is my own logic tho
well i hope u are correct. oh god look after me and this guy.
U didnt check it out??
