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.
gain of electrons = reduction
This reaction can be called "deoxidation" or "reduction".
A reaction in which oxygen is removed from a compound is called a reduction reaction.
it forms iron oxide, and it can/should form rust
reduction
gain of electrons = reduction
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.
No, hydrogen is gained during a reduction reaction, not lost. Reduction involves the gain of electrons and hydrogen atoms.
This reaction can be called "deoxidation" or "reduction".
Reduction Is Gain of electrons
OIL RIG Oxidation is Loss Reduction is Gain... That's all I know =)
half reaction
A reaction in which oxygen is removed from a compound is called a reduction 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
A reduction reaction
it forms iron oxide, and it can/should form rust
The reduction half-reaction for this reaction is: Zn^2+ + 2e- -> Zn(s).
