Concept explainers
Interpretation:
From the given
Concept Introduction:
Oxidation:
Loss of electrons from an atom ion or molecule during a chemical reaction is known as oxidation. Oxidation state of atom ion or molecule will increase in this process. In simple it is the addition of oxygen.
Example:
Here
Reduction:
Gaining of electrons from an atom, ion or molecule during a chemical reaction is known as reduction. Oxidation state of an atom will increase in this process. In simple it is the addition of hydrogen.
Example:
Here
Redox reactions:
It is a type of reaction in which both oxidation and reduction happens simultaneously. One get oxidized and one get reduced
Example
Zn is oxidized and hydrogen is reduced here
Nonredox reactions:
It is a type of reaction in which no transfer of electrons from one reactant to another reactant.
