Reduction.
A useful mnemonic I was taught at school:
OIL RIG
Oxidation
Is
Loss
of an electron, and
Reduction
Is
Gain

Part of a reaction that involves only oxidation or reduction is a?
It's not entirely clear what the question is asking... but oxidation involves the loss of electrons from an atom or ion, and reduction involves the gain of electrons. The other parts of a redox (reduction-oxidation) reaction may involve atoms forming and breaking bonds, but the oxidation or reduction part is just about losing or gaining electrons. You might be talking about what is called a "half-reaction." A half-reaction is the part of the reaction that is only either the oxidation step or the reduction step. Neither is a complete reaction, but put together the two half-reactions give the overall reactions. In the oxidation half-reaction, electrons come out as products, and in the reduction half-reaction electrons go in as reactants. Remember: OIL RIG Oxidation Is Loss; Reduction Is Gain.
What kind of reaction is used for electroplating-?
There was one reaction that is used for electroplate. The one thing used is copper. A nonspontaneous redox reaction
What happens during a chemical reaction that causes an ionic bond to form?
Two atoms who are looking to complete their outer orbit will share their electrons one losing electrons and becoming positive and one gaining Electrons becoming negative. Then the two are bonded together because opposites attract.
DID OXIDATION AND REDUCTION PROCCED SIMULATANEOUSLY?
Oxidation is an element or an ion getting a positive charge by removing valence electrons and Reduction is an element or an ion getting a negative charge by gaining free electrons. In chemical reactions reduction occurs by gaining the free electrons emitted by oxidation. Therefor oxidation and reduction proceed simultaneously.Oxidation is an element or an ion getting a positive charge by removing valence electrons and Reduction is an element or an ion getting a negative charge by gaining free electrons.

What type of reactions occur when a chemical substance loses electrons to another substance?
If one substance is losing electrons (where it is gaining charge, or oxidizing), we must assume those electrons are going to another substance in the reaction, which will cause the charge to go down, or reduce. This type of equation is called a Redox (reduction-oxidation) reaction.
Concept of oxidation and reduction?
a reversible chemical reaction in which one reaction is an oxidation and the reverse is a reduction
What happens during a reduction/oxidation reaction?
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
Can chemical bonds be produced by losing electrons losing nuetrons transferring electrons sharing electrons or gaining electrons?
Chemical bonds can be only produced by gaining, losing or sharing electrons. If a compound is formed by losing or gaining electrons, it is called an ionic bond and if by sharing electrons, it is called a covalent bond.
What reaction is reduction?
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.
What process can chemical bonds be produced by?
transferring electrons, gaining electrons, losing electrons and sharing electrons.
What are some examples of oxidation?
An oxidizing agent is reduced in a chemical reaction by gaining electrons. Some examples are halogens, nitric acid and potassium nitrate.
What is a chemical bond formed by atoms losing or gaining electrons?
metallic bond
