Concept Introduction:
Oxidation is the addition of an electronegative element or the removal of an electropositive element in a
Reduction is the addition of an electropositive element or the removal of an electronegative element in a chemical reaction.
The chemical reaction in which oxidation process and reduction process take place simultaneously, is called a redox reaction.
An oxidizing agent is a substance that has the capacity to oxidize another substance and get reduced in a chemical reaction.
A reducing agent is a substance that has the capacity to reduce another substance and get oxidized in a chemical reaction.
