Answer:
Oxidation: a type of chemical reaction where one or more electrons are lost.
Oxidation State / Number: a number assigned to an atom describing its degree of oxidation, meaning how many electrons it has gained or lost.
Reduction: a type of chemical reaction where one or more electrons are gained.
Oxidation-Reduction Reaction: a chemical reaction where oxidation and reduction occurs simultaneously
Explanation:
Reduction always occurs at cathode
Oxidation always occurs in anode
These two process occurs in same way independent of nature of cell whether voltaic or electrolytic.
When two distinct elements are chemically combined—i.e., chemical bonds form between their atoms—the result is called a chemical compound<span>. Most elements on Earth bond with other elements to form chemical compounds, such as sodium (Na) and Chloride (Cl), which combine to form table salt (NaCl).
Hope this helps.</span>
Do you have a picture of where you go this question from?
Answer is: because alkaline metals (group IA metals) are the strongest reducing agents and most reactive metals.
Reducing agent<span> is an element or compound that loses an </span>electron<span> to another </span>chemical species<span> in a </span>redox <span>chemical reaction and they have been oxidized.
Alkaline metals tend to lose only one electron in redox reaction.</span>
I'm preatty sure it is in the periodic table xxx
