glucose--> novanet
Glucose loses electrons through oxidation while oxygen gains those electrons through reduction By:novanet
Ions are made for clothes can not be wrinkly An ion is formed when an atom [or molecule] gains or loses one or more electrons. If an atom or molecule gains an electron it acquires negative charge. If the atom or molecule loses an electron it becomes positively charged.
This is called a redox reaction, where one molecule gains electrons and one molecule loses electrons. Reduction is the gain of electrons and oxidation the gain of electrons. It can be remembered as OILRIG (Oxidation Is Loss Reduction Is Gain).
The reactant that reduces another atom.

When a molecule loses an electron the molecule has been ionized and oxidized.
A molecule is said to be reduced when one of its atoms gains an electron. Since electrons are negatively charged, the net charge of the molecule is reduced when one of it's atoms acquires an electron.
On the left side.
