C2H4 is oxidized and O2 is reduced in both reactions.
<h3>What is oxidation/reduction?</h3>
Oxidation is defined in several ways. Some of the definitions are:
- The addition of oxygen or removal of hydrogen
- Increase in the oxidation number of atoms
- Addition of electronegative or the removal of electropositive elements
Reduction, on the other hand, is defined as:
- Removal of oxygen or addition of hydrogen
- Decrease in the oxidation number of atoms
- Addition of electropositive elements or the removal of electronegative elements.
In the two reactions, oxygen is being added to C2H4. Thus, C2H4 is being oxidized.
The oxidizing agent is O2. In oxidation reactions, the oxidizing agents usually get reduced. Thus, O2 is reduced in both reactions.

Everything is made of atoms. An atom is the smallest particle of an element, like oxygen or hydrogen. Atoms join together to form molecules. A water molecule has three atoms: two hydrogen (H) atoms and one oxygen (O) atom.
Diamond does not conduct electricity because it has no delocalized electron to conduct electricity.
In general, solubility increases with temperature. When you increase the temperature of a solvent, you increase the kinetic energy (or energy of movement) of the molecules, and this greater energy helps dissolve more of the solute molecules.
