It's the opposite of an oxidation reaction; therefore, there's a gain of electrons or a loss of oxygen
a decomposition reaction
The reduction of oxygen that forms water occurs during respiration. It occurs when oxygen and hydrogen mix to form what is called metabolic water.
Reduction occurs at the cathode in an electrolytic cell. This is where cations in the electrolyte solution gain electrons and get reduced, leading to the deposition of a substance onto the cathode.
more positive than the other half-cell
Reduction occurs at the cathode in an electrolytic cell.
Reduction occurs at the cathode in an electrolytic cell.
