Oxidatio n

✓an increase in oxidation state ✓loss of electron ✓in organic chemistry, it is the loss of H atom/s or the gain of O atom/s.

Oxidizing agent ✓an electron acceptor ✓a reactant that accepts electron from another reactant. ✓the reactant that is reduced in a redox

Reduction ✓a decrease in oxidation state ✓gain of electron ✓in organic chemistry, it is the loss of O atom/s or the gain of H atom/s.

Reducing agent ✓an electron donor ✓a reactant that gives up electron/s to another reactant thus decreasing the oxidation state of one of its atom. ✓the reactant that is

Oxidation Number For an element or radical, it is the same as the charge of the ion formed from an atom of the element or the ion of the same composition as the radical

NaCl → Na + Cl and it can be said that sodium and chlorine are in a +1 and –1 oxidation
