Answer» SOLUTION :.In which reaction oxygen/ELECTRONEGATIVE elements is added or hydrogen/electropositive element is remove this TYPE of reaction is known as oxidation reaction... `2Mg_((s))+O_(2(G))to2MgO_((s))` `S_((s))+O_(2(g))toSO_(2(g))` The elements Mg and S are oxidised on account of addition of oxygen to them. Mg is oxidised by electronegative elements such as `F_(2),Cl_(2)` `Mg_((s))+F_(2(g))toMgF_(2(s))` `Mg_((s))+Cl_(2(g))toMgCl_(2(s))` `2K_(4)[Fe(CN)_(6)]_((aq))+H_(2)O_(2(aq))tounderset("Potassium ferrocyanide")(2K_(3)[Fe(CN)_(6)]_((aq))+2KOH_((aq)))` Removal of K form potassium ferrocyanide is known as oxidation. |
