Oxidation and Reduction: Redox Reactions
Oxidation and reduction reactions occur simultaneously. When oxidation occurs in one substance, reduction takes place in the other substance. Such reactions are called redox reactions. In the name ‘redox’, the term ‘red’ stands for reduction and ‘ox’ stands for oxidation.
CuO + H2 → Cu + H2O
Fe3O4 + 4H2 → 3Fe + 4H2O
In both, the above reactions, oxidation and reduction occur simultaneously. One of the reactants acts as an oxidising agent and gets reduced, while the other acts as a reducing agent and gets oxidised.

Due to its smaller size and unavailability of d-electrons boron is found to exhibit properties which are in contrast to the other elements of the boron family. These properties are known as anomalous properties of boron. Some of these anomalous properties are discussed below.
- Except for boron, the compounds of the elements of the boron family like tetrahedral [M(OH)4]– and octahedral [M(H2O)6]3+ (where M denotes the member of boron family) exists in an aqueous medium.
- The maximum covalence of boron is 4 due to the absence of d orbitals.
- Boron is a metalloid while the rest of the family are post transition metals.
- The boron oxides and hydroxides are acidic in nature, whereas the other elements in the family form oxides and hydroxides which are amphoteric in nature.

Borax acid is formed when it is acidified.
Na2B4O7 + 2HCl + 5H2O → 2NaCl + 4H3BO3
Borax is a weak acid so it is slightly hydrolyzed in solution and is alkaline in nature.
B2O72- + 7H2O →2OH- + 4H3BO3

When heated, borax undergoes various transitions. It first loses water molecules and swells. Then, it turns into a transparent liquid, solidifying to form a glass-like material called borax bead.
