The five
Concept introduction:
The reaction in which both oxidation and reduction reaction occur simultaneously is called a redox reaction. According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of all the species in a reaction must be balanced. Therefore balancing is necessary to conserve the mass and even the charge must be balanced to maintain the overall charge of the reaction.
