The term oxidation was originally used to describe reactions in which an element combines with oxygen. Example: The reaction between magnesium metal and oxygen to form magnesium oxide involves the oxidation of magnesium. 2 Mg(s)+O2(g)-->2MgO(s) Oxidation The term reduction comes from the Latin stem meaning "to lead back." Anything that that leads back to magnesium metal therefore involves reduction. The reaction between magnesium oxide and carbon at 2000C to form magnesium metal and carbon monoxide is an example of the reduction of magnesium oxide to magnesium metal. MgO(s)+C(s)--> Mg(s)+CO(g) Reduction read less

Oxidation and reduction in terms of oxygen transfer Definitions Oxidation is gain of oxygen. Reduction is loss of oxygen. Because both reduction and oxidation are going on side-by-side, this is known as a redox reaction.

oxidation is defined as addition of oxygen or removal of hydrogen. vice versa is reduction. oxidation and reduction can also be found by ionic charge ,if there is addition of charge then it is oxidation and if there is removal of charge then it is reduction

If m and n are odd positive integers, then m2 + n2 is even, but not divisible by 4. Justify.
Since m is odd positive integer then we can write m=2a+1 and n=2b+1, such that a,b >0 m2+n2=(2a+1)^2+(2b+1)^2 = 4a^2+1+4a+4b^2+1+4b = 4a^2+4b^2+4a+4b+2 = 2(2a^2+2b^2+2a+2b+1) Above eqn is divisible by 2 but not divisible by 4.
