Answer is: this is reduction.
Reduction half reaction: Sn⁴⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ → Sn²⁺(aq).
Reduction is lowering of oxidation number because ions or element gain electrons and oxidation number is decreased (in this example from +4 to +2).
In oxido-reduction reaction, at least one element lose and one element gain electrons.
Oxidation reaction is increasing of oxidation number of atom, because element lost electrons in chemical reaction.

Answer from: Maddy1212

Reduction term describes this reaction

Sn⁴⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇒ Sn²⁺(aq)

Further explanation

Reduction oxidation reaction is a chemical reaction in which there are changes in oxidation numbers

The general formula for determining oxidation numbers:

1. Single element atomic oxidation = 0. For example Ar, Mg, Cu, Fe, N₂, O₂, etc. = 0

Group IA (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and Fr) +1

Group IIA (Be, Mg, Ca, Sr and Ba) +2

H atoms in compounds = +1, except metal hydride compounds (Hydrogens that bind to groups IA or IIA) oxidation numbers H = -1, for example LiH, MgH₂, etc.

2. O atoms in compounds = -2, except OF2 = + 2 and at peroxide (Na₂O₂, BaO₂) = -1 and superoxide, for example KO₂ = -1/2. 3. The oxidation number in the uncharged compound = 0,

we complete the answer choices

Which term best describes this reaction?

(1) ionization (3) oxidation

(2) neutralization (4) reduction

On reaction

Sn⁴⁺(aq) + 2e⁻ ⇒ Sn²⁺(aq)

the Sn atom experiences an reduction reaction (decrease in oxidation number) from 4+ to 2+

1.from liquid state to gaseous state is evaporation 3.solid to liquid is melting 5. solid to gaseous state is sublimation 6. gas to solid state is decomposition 7. a change of state is known as the states of matters

Answer from: Quest

metals are good conductor of electricity. it has free electrons on their surface. according to electron pool theory, each atom present in a metal crystal losses all of its valence electron and as a result a pool of free is form. these pool of electrons are free to move and conduct electricity easily while making metal as good conductor.

the correct answer is a. the ability of electrons to flow throughout the metal.
