Concept Introduction:
The troposphere is the layer of the atmosphere that is closest to the earth’s surface. The troposphere is the thinnest layer of the earth’s atmosphere. It includes about 80% of the total mass of the air and all the water vapor of the atmosphere.
The agent that gainsan electron and is itself reduced in the given reaction isknown as an oxidizing agent.
