ELECTROCHEMISTRY, REDOX PROCESSES, OXIDATION, OXIDATION HALF – EQUITION

  ELECTROCHEMISTRY                It is the branch of chemistry which deal with the redox chemical changes occurs during different chemical reactions.   REDOX PROCESSES:                Process in which reduction and oxidation takes place are called redox process. Actually it is derived from two words “Red” from reduction and “ox” – from oxidation.   OXIDATION:                Addition of oxygen or             Removal of hydrogen or             Removal of electrons is called oxidation. Overall it is increase in   oxidation number.   REDUCTION:                Removal of oxygen or             Addition of hydrogen or  ...
