Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The electrons gained and lose should be explained in the given reaction.
Concept Introduction:
A balanced chemical equation is an equation that contains same number of atoms as well as of each element of reactants and products of reaction.
Oxidation means increase in oxidation state and reduction means decrease in oxidation state.
(b)
Interpretation:
The electrons gained and lose should be explained in the given reaction.
Concept Introduction:
A balanced chemical equation is an equation that contains same number of atoms as well as of each element of reactants and products of reaction.
Oxidation-reduction reaction or redox reaction is a reaction in which one reactant is oxidized and another is reduced. In oxidation reaction, electrons are lost by the reactant or electrons are present on product side of the reaction. In reduction reaction, electrons are added to the reactant or electrons are present on reactant side of the reaction.
Oxidation means increase in oxidation state and reduction means decrease in oxidation state.
