Question
please verify my answer:
Consider the following REDOX reaction:
Zn(s) + Pb+2(aq) �� Zn+2(aq) + Pb(s)
a. Write the oxidation and reduction half-cell reactions.
Zn(s) + Pb+2(aq) �� Zn+2(aq) + Pb(s)
+2 +4 +2 +4
Zn(s)->Zn2+(aq)+2e- (zinc is oxidized)
Pb2+(aq)+2e- ->Pb(s)(lead is reduced)
b. Show this reaction in shorthand notation. (2 marks)
Zn(s)| Zn2+(aq) || Pb2+(aq) | Pb(s)
If it's wrong please tell me how. Thank you for your help :)

How could u say that the on undergoes reduction as positive charge on it show that it perform oxidation as during after an atom loses electron it get + charge on it .
