How do you determine if a reaction is an oxidation-reduction reaction?

An oxidation-reduction reaction can be determined by looking for changes in the oxidation states of the elements involved. If an element loses electrons (oxidation) and another gains electrons (reduction), it is likely an oxidation-reduction reaction.

How to find the Oxidation and reduction?

Is it possible to have a reaction in which oxidation takes place but reduction does not?

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.


What is this change in oxidation state called?

This change is called oxidation (increase of ox. state) or reduction (decrease)

How do the definitions of oxidation and reduction differ?

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.

Concept of oxidation and reduction?

Oxidation is the loss of electrons by a molecule, atom, or ion, leading to an increase in its oxidation state or valence. Reduction is the gain of electrons by a molecule, atom, or ion, resulting in a decrease in its oxidation state or valence. These two processes often occur simultaneously in redox reactions.
