What else can I help you with?
Is it possible to have a reaction in which oxidation takes place but reduction does not?
Oxidation is characterized by the loss of electrons, and reduction is characterized by the gain of electrons. Since there must be an electron loser and an electron receiver, oxidation and reduction are always complimentary.
What is this change in oxidation state called?
This change is called oxidation (increase of ox. state) or reduction (decrease)
When an atom looses an electron what is called?
It would be a positive ion, which is called an anion. (pronounced an-ion)
How are the processes of oxidation and reduction related?
Oxidation and reduction are complementary chemical processes known as redox reactions. Oxidation involves the loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state, while reduction involves the gain of electrons or a decrease in oxidation state. These processes occur simultaneously, as one substance is oxidized while another is reduced, maintaining the conservation of charge. Therefore, every oxidation reaction is paired with a corresponding reduction reaction.
Can oxidation or reduction takes place alone why or why not what are such reactions called answer in chemistry?
These reactions are called redox reactions.Isolated reduction/oxidation is not possible.
How do you determine if a reaction is an oxidation-reduction reaction?
An oxidation-reduction reaction can be determined by looking for changes in the oxidation states of the elements involved. If an element loses electrons (oxidation) and another gains electrons (reduction), it is likely an oxidation-reduction reaction.
How to find the Oxidation and reduction?
oxidation is the taking away of an electron, while reduction is gaining and electron
Is it possible to have a reaction in which oxidation takes place but reduction does not?
Oxidation is characterized by the loss of electrons, and reduction is characterized by the gain of electrons. Since there must be an electron loser and an electron receiver, oxidation and reduction are always complimentary.
What is redox rxn concept?
Redox (reduction-oxidation) reactions involve the transfer of electrons between reactants. Reduction refers to the gain of electrons by a molecule, while oxidation refers to the loss of electrons. In a redox reaction, the reducing agent gives electrons and gets oxidized, while the oxidizing agent accepts electrons and gets reduced.
What is this change in oxidation state called?
This change is called oxidation (increase of ox. state) or reduction (decrease)
When an atom looses an electron what is called?
It would be a positive ion, which is called an anion. (pronounced an-ion)
How do the definitions of oxidation and reduction differ?
Oxidation is the loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state by a molecule, atom or ion. Reduction is the gain of electrons or a decrease in oxidation state by a molecule, atom, or ion.
What do you call a reaction where a substance has gained oxygen?
ok im not shore but i think its called reduction
How do you figure out if a reaction is an oxidation or reduction reaction?
OIL RIG Oxidation is Loss Reduction is Gain... That's all I know =)
What is short for oxidation-reduction?
redox
What is short for oxidation reduction?
"Redox"
What are tranafered in a oxidation reduction?
Electrons.
