What else can I help you with?
What is this change in oxidation state called?
This change is called oxidation (increase of ox. state) or reduction (decrease)
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.
When an atom looses an electron what is called?
It would be a positive ion, which is called an anion. (pronounced an-ion)
What reaction is reduction?
In chemistry, reduction is considered the gaining of electrons. Oxidation is the lose of electrons. They go together in reactions called redox (reduction/oxidation). You cannot have a reduction without also having an oxidation.
What is the key characteristic of an oxidation-reduction reaction?
The key characteristic of an oxidation-reduction reaction is the transfer of electrons between reactants. Oxidation involves the loss of electrons, while reduction involves the gain of electrons. This transfer of electrons results in changes in the oxidation states of the substances involved.
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 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 happens during a reduction/oxidation reaction?
An oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction is a type of chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons between two species. An oxidation-reduction reaction is any chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a molecule, atom, or ion changes by gaining or losing an electron
Single reaction where oxidation and reduction take?
half reaction
What is an oxidation reduction or redox reaction?
ik
What is the term for a reaction in which a substances gains electrons?
When a substance gains an electron or electrons, this is known as "reduction". For every reduction reaction, there is also an oxidation reaction. So, whatever substance "gave" the electrons, underwent oxidation.
What occurs at the cathode of a galvanic cell?
An oxidation half-reaction
What is this change in oxidation state called?
This change is called oxidation (increase of ox. state) or reduction (decrease)
A molecule gives up an electron to another molecule which snaps it up is referring to A illustration of entropy B metabolic pathway C electron transfer chain D oxidation-reduction reaction?
D OXIDATION-REDUCTION REACTION
What do you call a reaction where a substance has gained oxygen?
ok im not shore but i think its called reduction
