What chemical process must always accompany a reduction process?

Explanation:

That would be the redox reactions . Such reactions only occur when you have a two half cells ,one of the half cells called anode carry oxidation reaction ( the losing of electrons ) and these electrons are then transferred up to the other half cell called cathode where reduction happens (gain of electrons ). Electrons from the anode are transferred up to the cathode and are reduced

on passing the small ampere of electric current through the tube made of ar and hg of cfl generates uv rays which excites the fluorescent and thus emits the high radiation by consumption of just 5- 12 w in comparison to incandescent light which requires more power such as around 40 - 55 w to lighten.

moreover the life span of fluorescent or cfl is around 8000 h whereas the life span of incandescent is around 1200 h

hence, the building installed with incandescent lights bears more electricity bill.
