        Redox
        Reduction is a gain of electrons by a reactant in any reaction.
        Oxidation is a loss of electrons by a reactant in any reaction.
        In a redox reaction, reduction and oxidation take place at the same time.
        Reactions of metals
        Metals can be arranged in order of reactivity by comparing the rates at which they react.

      - (c) Oxidising and reducing agents
        In a redox reaction, reduction and oxidation take place at the same time.
        An oxidising agent is a substance that accepts electrons.
        A reducing agent is a substance that donates electrons.
        Oxidising and reducing agents can be identified in redox reactions.
