Concept Introduction:
The
Oxidation is the process in which either loss of electrons, oxidation number increases, or loss of hydrogen atoms takes place. An element is oxidized, when oxidation number increases.
Reduction is the process in which either gain of electrons, oxidation number decreases, or gain hydrogen atoms takes place. An element is reduced, when oxidation number decreases.
Oxidizing agent are those which are reduced in a chemical reaction or gain electrons whereas reducing agents are those which are oxidized in a chemical reaction or lose electrons.
