understand how molecules undergo reduction and oxidation reactions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok. what else should I know?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

reduction results in the gain of electrons while oxidation results in the loss of electrons.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Got it ?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

\(\sf Al + O_2\Rightarrow Al_2O_3\)

OpenStudy (abhisar):

In the above reaction oxygen is reduced [as it gains electrtrons] and Aluminium is oxidised as it loses elecrtons

OpenStudy (abhisar):

I hope you know how to check which element has lost electron and which one has gained ?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

You can do this by checking their oxidation states.
