Write the electronic concept of oxidation and reduction reactions.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The process can be explained on the basis of electrons. The reaction involving loss of electron is termed oxidation
`Fe^(2+)to Fe^(3+)+e^(-)` (loss of electron - oxidation).
The reaction involving gain of electron is termed reduction.
`Cu^(2+)+2e^(-)toCu` (gain of electron -reduction)
