(a) Explanation When a substance loses the electrons then it is known as oxidation and when a substance gains the electrons then it known as reduction. The substance which donates the electrons is said to be oxidized whereas the substance which accepts the electrons is said to be reduced. For example, When Fe 2 + is oxidized to Fe 3 + , an increase in oxidation number of iron takes place that is from + 2 to + 3 (b) Interpretation Introduction To determine: The authenticity of the statement, “Oxidation can occur without reduction”.

Redox Reactions

Redox reactions are considered to be the chemical reactions involving both oxidation and reduction processes. They are actually oxidation-reduction reactions. The term redox is made from two words where “red” comes from reduction and “ox” comes from oxid…
