Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The term that corresponds to the statement “a redox process characterized by electron loss” is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Species gains or lose electrons to form anions or cations respectively. A gain in electron is classified as a reduction reaction and loss of electron is classified as an oxidation reaction. To keep a track on the loss or gain of an electron, a number is assigned in the form of oxidation number.
