प्रश्न
In term of electron transfer, define Oxidation
Advertisements
उत्तर
Oxidation is the loss of electrons during a reaction by a molecule, atom or ion. In terms of electron transfer, oxidation is defined as the phenomenon in which an atom loses an electron to form a positively charged cation.
During the formation of ionic bond one atom undergoes oxidation while another atom undergoes reduction.
