what are the different redox reaction

oxidation, reduction, oxidising agent(oxidant), reducing agent(reducutant)

what is oxidation

removing of electrons from the atom, the loss of electrons

what is reduction

gain of electrons

what is a oxidising agent(oxidant)

gains electrons, oxidises the other compound

what is a reducing agent(reductant)

oxidised, loses electrons, reduced other compound

what is oxidation state

total number of electrons that an atom either gains or loses in order to form a chemical bond with another atom

what is a redox reaction

odidation-reduction chemical reaction
