They involve the oddation of one substance, losing electron(s) and the reduction of another, gaining electron(s) and are called "redao reactons. In neutral atoms, such as A and X, the number of protons equals the number of electrons. When atom A loses an electron, the positive charge of the nucleus is now greater than the negative charge of the electrons and the resulting ion has a net positive charge, forming a cation. In a reaction, the electron must be taken up by another atom,X, which results more electrons than protons and a net negative charge on the atom, forming an anion. Mnemonic devices can help to remember the definitions of oxidation and reduction: LEO (L says GER (Gaining Eiectrans Reduction) aron (oxddation Losing) RG Reduction Gaining). identify the equations that show the oxidation of neutral atom A and the reduction of neutral atom X, oxidation of A reduction of x N e Previous Check Answer O Next SExi about careers partners privacy popcy terms of use contact usExplanation / Answer
A:- A ----------> A^+ + e^- => Neutral atom,A lose one electron and form A^+ cation, so it is oxidation reaction
Neutral atom cation electron
e^- + X --------> X^- => Neutral atom,X gain one electron and form X^- anion, so it is reduction reaction
electron Neutral atom anion
