∙ 16y agoA redox reaction is one in which electrons are being transferred from one compound to another. One species will give up electrons, and the other will receive electrons. The oxidation number of two or more atoms will change. The oxidation state of the species involved will change in redox reaction. For instance, a metal (neutral, or with an oxidation state of 0) will be converted into an ion (with a positive charge, or oxidation state ≥+1) by losing electrons. Or an ion may be converted back into a neutral compound. Sometimes it is clear that the oxidation number of an atom has changed from the way the reaction is written, and sometimes you need to look carefully at the state of each atom in a compound to see if there has been a change in oxidation state.

Are radioactive reactions redox reaction?
Radioactive reaction is a red-ox reaction. This is a nuclear decay.
What are the molecules that conserve most of the energy from the citric acid cycle's red ox reactions?
Red for reduction and Ox for oxidation: the energy competent moleules include Atp, Gtp and a little Ctp, and more than a little NADPH+.
Which gas is manufactured by green plants into starch?
Carbon dioxide. This is an example of [bio-] chemical reduction. Have you heard of red-ox reactions - adding oxygen is oxidation, and removing oxygen is termed reduction.
What kind of reaction tends to be spontaneous?
Reactions that are exothermic
How are oxygen atoms balanced for red ox equations in acidic solutions?
H2O and H+ are used to balance the oxygen atoms
What is the difference between acidic and basis solutions in working with re-dox reactions?
Acid-base reactions and red-ox reactions are two types of reactions. The first one do neutralization (in fact an acid and a base together form water) and the red-ox reactions deal with electrons.
Are radioactive reactions redox reaction?
Radioactive reaction is a red-ox reaction. This is a nuclear decay.
What color is ox red?
ox red..
Why are cells connected in a battery?
Cells are connected in a battery to carry out Red-ox reactions in order to generate electrical energy.
What are the molecules that conserve most of the energy from the citric acid cycle's red ox reactions?
Red for reduction and Ox for oxidation: the energy competent moleules include Atp, Gtp and a little Ctp, and more than a little NADPH+.
Why should you never mix Hydrochloric acid and Sulfuric acid and Nitric acid?
They will undergo strong red-ox reactions and make explosions if they meets adequate physical and chemical conditions.
Which gas is manufactured by green plants into starch?
Carbon dioxide. This is an example of [bio-] chemical reduction. Have you heard of red-ox reactions - adding oxygen is oxidation, and removing oxygen is termed reduction.
What kind of pet did Paul Bunyan have?
Babe the blue Ox.
What do you get when you add iron fillings to sulfuric acid?
If it is added to a solution of dilute sulfuric acid, it will react slowly liberating hydrogen gas. With concentrated acid, iron will undergo a series of red-ox reactions.
What is the meaning of bullock?
A young bull, or any male of the ox kind., An ox, steer, or stag., To bully.
Where are Boston Red S ox are located?
Boston? USA
What kind of animal is ox-hide leather?
oxhide leather is infact not an animal at all! Oxhide leather is the hide of an ox!
