If electon is gain or electron will oxidized what will happen?
1 Answer
If an electron is formally lost, another species will formally gain an electron....
Explanation:
And thus a redox equation has occurred, which are conceived to proceed on the back of electron loss,
And just to provide an example, we use oxidation numbers to assess the gain or loss of electrons... Metallic zinc COULD reduce nitrate anion to give ammonia...
And we take
...which I think is balanced with respect to mass and charge, as indeed it must be if we represent an actual chemical reaction...
