Expert Solution
Step 1
  • Oxidation is defined as the gain of an oxygen atom or the loss of electrons. Thus, during oxidation of a species, the oxidation state of that species increases.

2A+O2→2AOorA→A++e-

  • Reduction is defined as the loss of an oxygen atom or gain of a hydrogen atom or the gain of electrons. Thus, during the reduction of a species, the oxidation state of that species decreases.

2B + H2→2BHorB + e-→B-
