    What is redox?

    <p>Redox is a type of chemical reaction where the oxidation states of substrate change. It involves both oxidation (loss of electrons) and reduction (gain of electrons).</p> Signup and view all the answers

    How are oxidation and reduction defined in redox reactions?

    <p>Oxidation is the loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state, while reduction is the gain of electrons or a decrease in oxidation state.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What happens to the oxidation state of iron atoms in the rusting of iron?

    <p>The oxidation state of iron atoms increases as iron converts to an oxide during the rusting process.</p> Signup and view all the answers
