Oxidization and Reduction
oxidization
loss of electrons
gain of oxygen
lose of hydrogen
increase in oxide numbers
ex: rust
reduction
gain of electrons
lose of oxygen
gain of hydrogen
decrease in oxide numbers
ex:rust
oxidizing agent
gain electrons
electron acceptor
one of the higher oxidation state , because it will gain electron and be reduced
EX: halogens, potassium nitrate, nitric acid
substance that reduced
Reducing agents
loses electrons
oxidized in a chemical reaction
electron doner
A reducing agent is oxidized, because it loses electrons in the redox reaction
EX: earth metals, formic acid, and sulfite compounds.
