Answer:
See the explanation below, please.
Explanation:
In redox reactions (oxide reduction) the transfer of electrons between compounds occurs.
In oxidation, electrons are lost (positive charge increases). Example:
Mg ---> Mg2 + + 2 e- (passes from Mg ° to Mg 2+)
On the other hand in the reduction, electrons are gained (negative charge increases or the positive one increases). Example:
Cl2 + 2e- ---> 2 Cl- + 2 e- (passes from Cl ° to Cl-)
