oxidation happen by increasing O molecules or losing 2H or by losing electrons...

e.g :

Ag___> (Ag+1) + e -1

here Ag has lost one electron so become oxidized

What is a reduced compound?

A reduced compound is a compound that has gained one or more electrons, resulting in a negative charge. This reduction process typically occurs during a redox reaction, where one compound loses electrons (oxidation) and another gains electrons (reduction). Reduced compounds are often considered to be in a lower energy state compared to their oxidized forms.


When a compound donates electrons the compound becomes what?

if a neutral atom donates an electron it will gain a positive charge. This is due to electrons having a negative charge.

What is a reducer in an experiment I'm talking about a reducer like glycerol?

A reducer or reducing agent is something that can lose electrons and be oxidized so that another compound can gain electrons and become reduced. For example: glycerol can be oxidized to glyceraldehyde allowing for NAD+ to be reduced to NADH.
