A redox reaction is a type of reaction which involves transfer of electrons among two species. This reaction is also called oxidation-reduction reaction.

In oxidation process, there is an increase in oxidation state of an atom, ion or molecule by losing the electrons.

In reduction process, there is a decrease in oxidation state of an atom, ion or molecule by accepting the electrons.

1)

In this reaction, Ba undergoes oxidation and Cl undergoes reduction.
This reaction is redox reaction.
In this reaction, oxidation number of Ba increases from 0 to +2 . So, Ba undergoes oxidation. The oxidation number of Cl decreases from 0 to -1. So, Cl undergoes reduction.

2) 

From this above reaction, it is clear that Aluminum undergoes oxidation and silver undergoes reduction.
Due to this, this reaction is redox reaction.

In this reaction, oxidation number of Aluminum increases from 0 to +1. So, aluminum undergoes oxidation. The oxidation number of silver decreases from +1 to 0. So, silver undergoes reduction.

3)

In this reaction, Mg undergoes oxidation and Br undergoes reduction.
This reaction is redox reaction.
The reactions 1, 3 and 4 are redox reactions.
In this reaction, oxidation number of Mg increases from 0 to +2 . So, Mg undergoes oxidation. The oxidation number of Br decreases from 0 to -1 . So, Br undergoes reduction.

Hence all the above reactions are redox reactions.

The only active volcano in India is situated in Andaman-Nicobar islands.

The sun moves around and in the house, but cannot touch the house.

Reflection is what which looks back but can't see.

Our atmosphere is made up of

78% Nitrogen,

21% Oxygen and

1% all other gases like argon, carbon dioxide, neon, and helium.

So, Nitrogen makes up the majority of our atmosphere.

To find the largest 4 digit number exactly divisible by 88,

We should divide the largest possible 4 digit number by 88, and if we get any remainder than subtract it from that largest number.

The largest possible 4 digit number is 9999

Now,

88) 9999 (113
      88
  _______
      119
        88
  _______
        319
        264
  _______
          55
  _______

Therefore, the largest 4 digit number exactly divisible by 88 is given by

9999 - 55 = 9944.
