REDOX REACTION PRESENTATION

 REDOX REACTIONS

• Redox stands for reduction oxidation.
• Redox reaction, also called oxidation reduction reaction, is a chemical reaction in which one substance is reduced and another is oxidised simultaneously.
• Oxidation and reduction of substances occur simultaneously. As one substance is reduced the other is oxidised.
• An oxidising agent is a substance that causes the oxidation of the other substance. Therefore, the substance that is reduced in a reaction is the oxidising agent.
• A reducing agent is a substance that causes the reduction of the other substance. For example, the substance that is oxidised in a reaction is the reducing agent.
