An oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction is a type of chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons between two species. An oxidation-reduction reaction is any chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a molecule, atom, or ion changes by gaining or losing an electron
oxidation is the taking away of an electron, while reduction is gaining and electron
a reversible chemical reaction in which one reaction is an oxidation and the reverse is a reduction
AnswerOIL RIG is the simple answer for REDOX. It shows that oxidation is loss of electrons while reduction is the gain of electrons. It is also that they both occur simultaneously, this is a couple reaction where the electrons lost by a reductant has to be gained by an oxidant. Oxidation is also the increase in oxidation number of the element being acted upon and reduction results in the decrease of the oxidation number on the element being reduced.
It is neither oxidation nor reduction it is simply a double displacement reaction.
Oxidation and Reduction reactions occur when electrons are transferred. The molecule that is oxidized loses an electron and the molecule that is reduced gains the electron that was lost by the oxidized molecule. Therefore, oxidation and reduction have to occur together.
Reduction, the opposite of oxidation, is chemical.
This is called a redox reaction, where one molecule gains electrons and one molecule loses electrons. Reduction is the gain of electrons and oxidation the gain of electrons. It can be remembered as OILRIG (Oxidation Is Loss Reduction Is Gain).
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.
