Is oxidation endothermic?

An oxidation reaction is also known as a redox reaction. Not all redox reactions give off heat. Some redox reactions give off heat and some require heat from an outside source for the reaction to be completed.


What is terminal oxidation?

Terminal oxidation is oxidation on the end of a molecule. An example would be oxidation of a terminal carbon atom in a carbon chain.


What is a redox reaction Give an example?

What is the oxidation number of P?

Phosphorous, or P, has a zero oxidation number in the element. Common oxidation numbers are:- It has a -3 in phosphides, where it forms the P3- ion It has a +3 in oxidation number in for example P4O6, and PCl3 It has a +5 oxidation number in for example P4O10 and PCl5


What is an example for tarnish?

Tarnishing involves oxidation on metal. Some examples include rust on pipes and coins, and corrosion on items made of silver.


What is slow oxidation rapid oxidation?

Slow oxidation is caused by combining iron with oxygen. A nail rusting is an example of slow oxidation.


Is oxidation a reaction between iron water and oxygen?

No. Oxidation is the loss of electrons by an atom, or equivalently an increase in the oxidation number of that atom. Rust formation is one example of oxidation.
