Oxidation, reduction and redox equations

Question 1

define oxidation

Answer 1

Oxidation is the process of electron loss

Question 2

define oxidising agent

Answer 2

oxidising
agents are electron acceptors.

Question 3

define reduction

Answer 3

Reduction is the process of electron gain

Question 4

Answer 4

reducing
agents are electron donors.

Question 5

what is the first and second rule of oxidisation state

Answer 5

1) uncombined element = 0

2) monatomic ions = equal to their charge

Question 6

what is the third rule of the oxidation state?

Answer 6

3) compound: sum of the oxidation state = overall charge
