Expert Solution
Step 1

Redox reactions:

A reaction involving both oxidation and reduction simultaneously. One reactant gets oxidised, the other gets reduced. Such reactions are named as oxidation-reduction reactions or redox reactions.

Increase in Oxidation number= Oxidation

Decrease in oxidation number= Reduction
