Question

Define the redox reaction and give an example.

Answer 1

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.

The formation of hydrogen fluoride is an example of a redox reaction. We can break the reaction down to analyze the oxidation and reduction of reactants. The hydrogen is oxidized and loses two electrons, so each hydrogen becomes positive.

H2 + 2F → 2HF

Answer 2

1. Redox Reaction: A chemical reaction in which both reduction process and oxidation process are involved. In this reaction, transfer of electrons takes place between chemical species. Examples of Redox reaction are: ... Reduction: The process of addition of Hydrogen and removal of Oxygen
