Which element is the reducing agent in a redox reaction?
The reactant that has the atom that gets oxidized
Can a photon be oxidized by an electron from the valence shell of a molecule?
Photons are not oxidized. They are energy. A photon may be captured by an atom or molecule resulting in a change to the state of atoms.
What gets oxidized in electrolytic cell made with nickel and copper electrodes?
Cu(s)
When Pyridium chlorochromate is added to primary alcohol what does it give?
when u add PCC to a primary alcohol its gets oxidized to an aldehyde. example CH3CH2CH2OH +PCC --. CH3CH2COOH when u add PCC to a primary alcohol its gets oxidized to an aldehyde. example CH3CH2CH2OH +PCC --. CH3CH2COOH

During a chemical reaction an iron atom became the ion Fe 2 plus . What happened to the iron atom?
If Fe becomes Fe^2+ it has lost 2 electrons, and so the Fe has been OXIDIZED.
When a glucose molecule loses a hydrogen atom as the result of an oxidation-reduction reaction the molecule becomes?
oxidized
Aluminum react with sulfric acid and Which atom is oxidized?
Aluminum.
Which is more highly oxidized a potassium atom or a K1 ion?
The K1+ ion is more highly oxidized as its oxidation state is 1+ whereas a potassium atom's oxidation state is 0.
In the reaction of hydrogen with iodine which atom is oxidized?
Hydrogen is oxidized because an electron is removed from it.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of heat treatment?
Metal gets oxidized.

Can a photon be oxidized by an electron from the valence shell of a molecule?
Photons are not oxidized. They are energy. A photon may be captured by an atom or molecule resulting in a change to the state of atoms.
What happens when an atom loses a electron from its outermost shell?
It becomes possitively charged.It is oxidized.
When a metal is oxidized do it gain electrons?
Yes it does - from the oxygen atom as well as it's own.
What is the result of an atom that gains or loses an electron?
This is called a redox reaction. An atom that loses an electron is oxidized and an atom that gains an electron is reduced.
