Oxidation & Reduction Tracker

Identify what is oxidised and reduced in a redox reaction.

Controls

Live result

Oxidised
H₂ (gains oxygen)
Reduced
CuO (loses oxygen)
Note
H₂ is the reducing agent
Oxidation & Reduction Tracker — particle level
CuO + H₂Cu + H₂OH₂ (gains oxygen)

Oxidation is gain of oxygen / loss of electrons; reduction is the exact opposite. Both happen together.
