Question

Explain how a redox reacation involves electrons in the same way that a neutralization reaction involves protons

Answer 1

For the neutralization process: an acid acts as a donor and donates protons to the base. On the other hand, the base acts as an acceptor and accepts the transferred protons. In a nutshell, neutralization is mainly proton transfer process.

As for the redox process: the oxidized material usually transfers electrons to the reduced material. In a nutshell, redox is mainly electron transfer process.
