Oxidation reaction and Reduction reaction |
|
Answer» on reactions are those when a substrate is oxidized by an oxidant so that atoms of the substrate increase their oxidation numbers while atoms of the oxidant are reduced.Example: The reaction between magnesium metal and OXYGEN to FORM magnesium oxide involves the oxidation of magnesium.A reduction reaction is one in which a REACTANT in a chemical reaction gains one or more electrons. Reduction reactions always occur in CONJUNCTION with oxidation reactions, in which a reactant LOSES one or more electrons.example CuO+H2heat Cu+H2O. |
