Concept Introduction:
Net ionic equation:
Net ionic equation is defined as the specific species that only involves to a particular reaction. This type of equations is generally used in acid-base neutralization reactions and redox reactions.
Oxidizing agent:
The material which gains electron in a
Reducing agent:
The material, which loses electrons in a chemical reaction, is called reducing agent. In this reaction, the oxidation number will be increased.
