How do you determine if a reaction is an oxidation-reduction reaction?
An oxidation-reduction reaction can be determined by looking for changes in the oxidation states of the elements involved. If an element loses electrons (oxidation) and another gains electrons (reduction), it is likely an oxidation-reduction reaction.
Is it possible to have a reaction in which oxidation takes place but reduction does not?
Oxidation is characterized by the loss of electrons, and reduction is characterized by the gain of electrons. Since there must be an electron loser and an electron receiver, oxidation and reduction are always complimentary.
What is this change in oxidation state called?
This change is called oxidation (increase of ox. state) or reduction (decrease)
When an atom looses an electron what is called?
It would be a positive ion, which is called an anion. (pronounced an-ion)
How do the definitions of oxidation and reduction differ?
Oxidation is the loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state by a molecule, atom or ion. Reduction is the gain of electrons or a decrease in oxidation state by a molecule, atom, or ion.
What do you call a reaction where a substance has gained oxygen?
ok im not shore but i think its called reduction
How do you figure out if a reaction is an oxidation or reduction reaction?
OIL RIG Oxidation is Loss Reduction is Gain... That's all I know =)
How is an oxidation half-reaction written using the reduction potential chart How is the oxidation potential voltage determined?
To write an oxidation half-reaction using a reduction potential chart, you first identify the species being oxidized and locate its reduction potential on the chart. Since oxidation is the reverse of reduction, you invert the sign of the reduction potential to obtain the oxidation potential. The oxidation potential voltage can be determined by taking the negative of the corresponding reduction potential value; this value indicates the tendency of the species to lose electrons.
Concept of oxidation and reduction?
Oxidation is the loss of electrons by a molecule, atom, or ion, leading to an increase in its oxidation state or valence. Reduction is the gain of electrons by a molecule, atom, or ion, resulting in a decrease in its oxidation state or valence. These two processes often occur simultaneously in redox reactions.
DID OXIDATION AND REDUCTION PROCCED SIMULATANEOUSLY?
Oxidation is an element or an ion getting a positive charge by removing valence electrons and Reduction is an element or an ion getting a negative charge by gaining free electrons. In chemical reactions reduction occurs by gaining the free electrons emitted by oxidation. Therefor oxidation and reduction proceed simultaneously.Oxidation is an element or an ion getting a positive charge by removing valence electrons and Reduction is an element or an ion getting a negative charge by gaining free electrons.

How are the processes of oxidation and reduction related?
Oxidation and reduction are complementary chemical processes known as redox reactions. Oxidation involves the loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state, while reduction involves the gain of electrons or a decrease in oxidation state. These processes occur simultaneously, as one substance is oxidized while another is reduced, maintaining the conservation of charge. Therefore, every oxidation reaction is paired with a corresponding reduction reaction.
What is short for oxidation-reduction?
