Answer:
Explanation:
Oxidation:
Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.
Reduction:
Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.
Oxidizing agents:
Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.
Reducing agents:
Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized.
Consider the following reaction:
2AgCl + Zn → 2Ag + ZnCl₂
In this reaction oxidation state of Zn on left side is 0 while on right side +2 so it gets oxidized and oxidation state of Ag on left side is +1 and on right side 0 so it get reduced.
4NH₃ + 3O₂ → 2N₂ + 6H₂O
In this reaction oxidation state of nitrogen on left side is -3 while on right side 0 so it gets oxidized and oxidation state of oxygen on left side is 0 and on right side -2 so it get reduced.
Fe₂O₃ + 2Al → Al₂O₃ + 2Fe
In this reaction oxidation state of iron on left side is +3 while on right side 0 so it gets reduced and oxidation state of Al on left side is 0 and on right side +3 so it get oxidized.
<span>The effective nuclear charge of an atom = total electrons - inner electrons
For O, ENC = 8 - 2 = 6
For Li, ENC = 3 - 2 = 1
For C, ENC = 6 - 2 = 4
The electrons in O experience the greatest effective nuclear charge and that is why O is smaller than C (which is smaller than Li).</span>
