Oxidation is the Loss of Electrons, and Reduction is the Gain of Electrons
(Remember oil rig - Oxidation Is Loss, Reduction Is Gain)

Since water loses an electron, it gets oxidised, and since carbon dioxide gains an electron, it gets reduced. 
Since both oxidation and reduction occurs, it is called a Redox reaction

What effect does heating a solid to a hightemperature have have on its crystal lattice ??
kotegsom [21]

Arrangement of atoms or group of atoms in a three dimensional ordered pattern in a crystal is said to be a crystalline lattice. They are arranged in a specific pattern with high symmetry. The heating of the crystal at high temperature will result in the increase of vibrational kinetic energy of the atoms in the crystal and this will result in the breaking of lattice apart and due to the breaking of lattice apart the ions will flow freely.

Thus, the heating of a solid at high temperature will lead to the lattice breaks apart and ions will flow freely.

One way in which elements differ from each other is the structure of the electron cloud in each elements Atoms in electron cloud
BartSMP [9]

Not sure what you are asking. I have two possible answers though...

It could either be more negatively charged, or valence electrons.

The more away from the nucleus a electron is, the more negatively charged it is.

The electrons on the outermost electron shell is valence electrons.

Again, I don't know what you were asking, but one of these answers may be correct.
