About Redox Reaction (JEE Main, Class11th)
What is Redox Reaction ?
A redox (reduction-oxidation) reaction is a chemical reaction that involves the transfer of electrons between species. It occurs when one substance undergoes oxidation (loses electrons) while another substance undergoes reduction (gains electrons). Redox reactions are characterized by changes in oxidation states. These reactions play a crucial role in various processes, including energy production, corrosion, and industrial applications. Understanding redox reactions helps in predicting and controlling electron transfer and is important in fields such as chemistry, biology, and environmental science.
