Oxidation is the loss of electrons, while reduction is the gain of electrons from "summary" of Chemistry Simplified NCERT Class 11 by Sanjay Sharma
Oxidation and reduction are two fundamental processes in chemistry that involve the transfer of electrons between atoms or molecules. In oxidation, a substance loses electrons, while in reduction, a substance gains electrons. These processes are always coupled, meaning that when one substance is oxidized, another substance must be reduced. This is known as a redox reaction.
In a redox reaction, the substance that is oxidized is called the reducing agent, while the substance that is reduced is called the oxidizing agent. The reducing agent is the one that donates electrons, causing another substance to be reduced, while the oxidizing agent is the one that accepts electrons,...
