2. Oxidant itself is reduced (gives O₂)
Or Oxidant → e^– (s) Acceptor
Reductant itself is oxidised (gives H₂)
Or Reductant → e^–(s) Donor

8. Some other important points:

Formal charge = Group No. – [No. of bonds + No. of non-bonded electrons]
At Anode → Oxidation, Cathode → Reduction
For aqua-regia (HNO₃ + 3HCl) → Cl acts as an oxidant
Starch iodide paper is used for the identification of an oxidant
ON of any element remains in between n → n – 8 where n = group no.
SO₂ decolourlise the colour of flower by reduction & Cl₂ by oxidation.
