In chemistry, reduction is considered the gaining of electrons. Oxidation is the lose of electrons. They go together in reactions called redox (reduction/oxidation). You cannot have a reduction without also having an oxidation.
generally, any reaction that involves addition of hydrogen or addition of electrons
it forms iron oxide, and it can/should form rust
Burning wood in air/oxygen is a combustion reaction, a type of oxidation-reduction reaction.
reduction
a reversible chemical reaction in which one reaction is an oxidation and the reverse is a reduction
This reaction can be called "deoxidation" or "reduction".
it forms iron oxide, and it can/should form rust
Reduction Is Gain of electrons
half reaction
They show the oxidation an reduction halves of a reaction
OIL RIG Oxidation is Loss Reduction is Gain... That's all I know =)
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
This is a reduction reaction.
A reduction reaction
an oxidation and reduction reaction.
When a substance gains an electron or electrons, this is known as "reduction". For every reduction reaction, there is also an oxidation reaction. So, whatever substance "gave" the electrons, underwent oxidation.
