Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In redox reactions, which species is reduced?
  • Step 1: Understand that a redox reaction involves the transfer of electrons between two species.
  • Step 2: Identify the two main components in a redox reaction: the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent.
  • Step 3: The oxidizing agent is the species that gains electrons during the reaction.
  • Step 4: When the oxidizing agent gains electrons, it is said to be reduced.
  • Step 5: Therefore, in redox reactions, the species that is reduced is the oxidizing agent.
