The element has lost one or more electrons in a reaction.
In terms of electrons, it is the loss of an electron or electrons from a particle. Its not necessarily anything to do with oxygen dont be miss led
given a certain amount of oxygen
Aluminium.
Which element will be oxidized and which will be reduced
Phosphorus
Oxygen is being reduced.
Bromine is the oxidizing element.
The element has lost one or more electrons in a reaction.
Aluminium.
The material that is oxidized in the given reaction is Iron. Fe2O3 is iron oxide which can occur naturally as the mineral magnetite.
iron is one anything that can be oxidized will rust
H2 n2
Which element will be oxidized and which will be reduced
The element that is oxidized in the reaction 4Al + 3O2 → 2Al2O3 is aluminum (Al). In this reaction, aluminum loses electrons and undergoes oxidation to form aluminum oxide (Al2O3).
Carbon
Cu is being reduced and Zn is being oxidized, hence Zn + CuSO4 --> ZnSO4 + Cu
Phosphorus
Which element will be oxidized and which will be reduced
Oxygen is being reduced.
