What does Oxidation-reduction mean?

Question

Answer

Answer

Addition of oxygen and removal of hydrogen is called oxidation.

Reduction vice versa

Answer

Those reaction in which the addition of Oxygen and removal of hydrogen is take place is called oxidation reaction while those reaction in which removal of Oxygen and addition of hydrogen is take place is called reduction reaction.

Answer

Addition of oxegen and removal of hydrogen is called oxidation .....addition of hydrogen and removal of oxegen is called reduction.....

Answer

If an atom looses it's electrons it is said to be reduced and the process is called reduction and on the other hand if it gains electrons it is said to be oxidised and this process is called oxidation.

Answer

Answer

An oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction is a type of chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons between two species. An oxidation-reduction reaction is any chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a molecule, atom, or ion changes by gaining or losing an electron.

Answer

Oxidation and Reduction with respect to Oxygen Transfer.Oxidation-reduction reaction, also called redox reaction, any chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a participating chemical species changes. The term covers a large and diverse body of processes.

Answer

Addition of O2 , removal of hydrogen and removal of electrons is known as oxidation and reduction is just opposite of it

Answer

Oxidation means adding of oxygen and removal of hydrogen and electrons.
eg C + O2 ---> CO2
Reduction means adding of hydrogen and removal of oxygen and also adding of electrons.
eg CO2 + H2O ---> C6H12O6 + O2
The process in which oxidation and reduction reaction occur simultaneously is known as Redox reaction.
Red ---> Reduction reaction
ox ---> Oxidation reaction
