Question

What Is Oxidation Reaction

Answer 1

Oxidation reaction is a type of reaction wherein there is  a loss of electrons. An oxidation reaction may also be a reducing agent. Example is the reaction Zn + 2H+ = Zn2+ + H2. When you separate them by their half cell reaction, you have 2H+ 1e- = H2. H here is the reducing agent and has lost 1 electron in the process.
