An element M reacts with another element X to form . In terms of loss or gain of electron, identify the element oxidized and reduced. I need help in understanding this question, I know what a redox reaction is in terms of loss or gain of electron. However, I am not able to solve this question. I think that's maybe because the oxidation state or valency is not given for the unknown elements. Like, how do I know if the element is gaining or loosing electron when I don't know it's valency.

I repeat, I need to UNDERSTAND this question, I already know the answer but am just confused about how to solve it...

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.
