Answer:
Its a reaction which one substance gets oxidized and other gets reduced simultaneously in one reaction.
The most important thing jn this topic is to determine what substance has oxidized and what has reduced to what , and oxidising agent and reducing agent.
There is a criteria to determine it :
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Oxidation:
Combining with O [oxygen]
Losing of H [hydrogen]
Losing of electron [in form of ions]
Substances gets oxidized to something, and they are called reducing agents.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Reduction:
Losing of O [oxygen]
Gaining of H [hydrogen]
Gaining of an electron [negative charge]
Substances gets reduced to something, and they are called oxidizing agents.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Theee are reactions which sometimes seem complicated like in ncert, but they follow one of these rules so pay attention.
