a reversible chemical reaction in which one reaction is an oxidation and the reverse is a reduction
Oxidation
Is
Loss
Reduction
Is
Gain
(of electrons)
The OILRIG system is good for helping to remember this
Oxidation involves losing electrons and reduction involves gaining electrons.
Beta Oxidation--> Oxidation, Hydrolysis, Oxidation, Cleavage Fatty Acid Synthesis--> Cyle transferase, Dehydration, Reduction, Reduction
Reduction, the opposite of oxidation, is chemical.
It would be a positive ion, which is called an anion. (pronounced an-ion)
Oxidation is characterized by the loss of electrons, and reduction is characterized by the gain of electrons. Since there must be an electron loser and an electron receiver, oxidation and reduction are always complimentary.
Oxidation takes place at anode and reduction at cathode - yes, it is correct.
Basically is a simultaneous reaction of oxidation and reduction.
oxidation is the taking away of an electron, while reduction is gaining and electron
It is neither oxidation nor reduction it is simply a double displacement reaction.

Oxidation is the loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state by a molecule, atom or ion. Reduction is the gain of electrons or a decrease in oxidation state by a molecule, atom, or ion.
Oxidation takes place at anode and reduction at cathode - yes, it is correct.
They show the oxidation an reduction halves of a reaction
OIL RIG Oxidation is Loss Reduction is Gain... That's all I know =)
*electrolytic cells Oxidation occurs at the cathode
