Question
Chapter 18, Problem 5ALQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for why gaining of electrons by a substance is said to be reduced and what is being reduced should be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The oxidation and reduction are defined by the loss and addition of electrons. The loss of electrons results in oxidation whereas addition of electrons results in reduction. The oxidation and reduction process complementary to each other.
The oxidation state is defined as the charge(s) that an atom would have when electron(s) were transferred completely from a molecule or ion.
