Chapter 7: Redox Reaction (CBSE Class 11)

  • Chemistry deals with varieties of matter and the charge of one kind of matter into the other. The transformation of matter from one kind into another occurs through various types of reactions. One important category of such reactions is redox reactions.
  • Several phenomena, both physical as well as biological, are concerned with redox reactions.
  • Redox reactions find extensive use in pharmaceutical, biological, industrial, metallurgical and agricultural areas.
  • Of late, environmental issues like hydrogen economy (use of liquid hydrogen as fuel) and development of ozone hole have started figuring under the redox phenomenon.
