In redox  reaction electrons  are   transferred   

Redox  reaction  involve  both  reducing of b  agent and oxidizing agent. reducing agent   acts as electrons  donor  while oxidizing agent   acts as electron  acceptor
 for example formation of   Hydrogen fluoride  (HF)

that is  H2 + F2 =  HF

by  breaking the equation

H2 = 2 H^+  2e-
F2 + 2e= 2f-

hydrogen  move from oxidation from zero( 0 )to  positive  one   ( +1 )therefore  hydrogen is oxidized.  Fluorine move from  oxidation  state of  zero(0) to oxidation state of negative  one(-1)  therefore fluorine is reduced.

Reduction is a reaction which results in a __1____ in electrons and a __2____ in positive charge of the atom or ion
mestny [16]

Hello! Your answer would be a gain of electrons and a decrease in positive charge.

Contrary to how it sounds, reduction is actually a gain of electrons. It is part of a set of reactions known as a redox reaction, reduction being a gain of electrons and oxidation being a loss.

With the gain of electrons, the element would become more negative as electrons bring with them a negative charge. Therefore, this would decrease the positive charge.

Hope this helped!

Is hydrogen a neutral atom or ion
Sloan [31]

Answer:

Hydrogen is the smallest chemical element. It has one proton and one electron, making it neutral. However, the ions of hydrogen atom are charged species. Thus, the key difference between hydrogen atom and hydrogen ion is that the hydrogen atom is neutral whereas hydrogen ion carries a charge.
