Redox reactions involve the transfer of electrons from "summary" of NCERT Chemistry Class 11 - [CBSE Board] by Dr. S. C. Rastogi, ,Er. Meera Goyal
In redox reactions, there is a transfer of electrons from one substance to another. This transfer of electrons leads to the formation of positively and negatively charged species. The substance that loses electrons is said to be oxidized, while the substance that gains electrons is said to be reduced. This is where the term "redox" comes from, which is short for reduction-oxidation reactions.
During a redox reaction, there is always a reducing agent and an oxidizing agent involved. The reducing agent is the substance that donates electrons, while the oxidizing agent is the substance that accepts electrons. This transfer of electrons allows for the formation of new compounds with different chemical properties than the reactants.
The movement of electrons fro...
