Expert Solution

Step 1

Redox reactions are the combination of reduction and oxidation reactions. The type of reaction in which there is loss of electrons is known as oxidation. The type of reaction in which there is gain of electrons is known as reduction. The electron lost by an atom is gained by another such that no electrons are present in the final reaction. Reducing agent is the one which lose electrons while an oxidizing agent gain electrons.
