Scientists can calculate the number of neutrons by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass. The atomic number of an element is the number of protons which can be found in the nucleus of the element's atoms. The atomic mass of an element is the product of protons plus neutrons. The number of neutrons is not always equal to the number of protons. By subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass, the difference will be how many neutrons are in the element's nucleus.

Consider the redox reaction below.

Answer:

Fe2+ (aq) + 2e -> Fe(s)

Explanation:

Oxidation:

Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.

Reduction:

Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.

Consider the following reaction:

Mg(s) + Fe2+ (aq) —>Mg2+ (aq) + Fe(s)

Magnesium loses its two valance electrons and oxidized while iron accept two electrons get reduced.

Magnesium is reducing agent while iron is oxidizing agent.

Oxidizing agents:

Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.

Reducing agents:

Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized.
