An oxidizing agent will
increase in mass
lose electrons
be reduced
increase in oxidation number
In a redox reaction, the species that loses electrons
is called the cathode
is oxidized
gains mass at the electrode
decreases in oxidation number
As an element is oxidized, its oxidation number
decreases as electrons are lost
increases as electrons are lost
decreases as electrons are gained
increases as electrons are gained
The reaction 2NaCl → 2Na + Cl2 is an example of
a reduction reaction, only
both an oxidation and reduction reaction
an oxidation reaction, only
neither an oxidation nor a reduction reaction
Oxidation-reduction reactions occur because of the competition between particles for
electrons
positrons
protons
neutrons
