Redox Reactions Quiz

Redox Reactions

• A redox reaction is a chemical reaction involving the transfer of one or more electrons between species, resulting in a change in oxidation state.
• In a redox reaction, one species loses electrons (oxidized) while another species gains electrons (reduced).

Oxidizing Agent

• An oxidizing agent (also known as an electron acceptor) is a species that gains one or more electrons in a redox reaction.
• The oxidizing agent causes the oxidation of another species, resulting in a loss of electrons.

Reducing Agent

• A reducing agent (also known as an electron donor) is a species that loses one or more electrons in a redox reaction.
• The reducing agent causes the reduction of another species, resulting in a gain of electrons.
• In a redox reaction, the reducing agent is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons.
