Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The term that corresponds to the statement “a redox process characterized by electron gain.” is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Species gains or lose electrons to form anions or cations respectively. A gain in electron is classified as a reduction reaction and loss of electron is classified as an oxidation reaction. To keep a track on the loss or gain of an electron, a number is assigned in the form of oxidation number.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The term that corresponds to the statement “a substance undergoing reduction in a redox reaction” is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

A species gains or lose electrons to form anions or cations respectively. A gain in electron is classified as a reduction reaction and loss of electron is classified as an oxidation reaction. To keep a track on the loss or gain of an electron, a number is assigned in the form of oxidation number.
