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.

What else can I help you with?
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.
What do you call a reaction where a substance has gained oxygen?
ok im not shore but i think its called reduction
Which chemical reaction involves losing or gaining electrons?
Oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions involve the transfer of electrons between reactants, resulting in one species losing electrons (oxidation) and another gaining electrons (reduction). This transfer of electrons leads to a change in the oxidation states of the elements involved in the reaction.
What do negative oxidation mean?
Negative oxidation typically refers to reduction, which is the gain of electrons or a decrease in oxidation state of a molecule. In this process, a molecule or atom undergoes a reduction reaction by accepting electrons.
What are oxidation and reduction reactions?
Oxidation is the loss of electrons by a molecule, atom, or ion, while reduction is the gain of electrons by a molecule, atom, or ion. In oxidation-reduction reactions, electrons are transferred from the substance being oxidized to the substance being reduced.

How to find the Oxidation and reduction?
oxidation is the taking away of an electron, while reduction is gaining and electron
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)
When an atom looses an electron what is called?
It would be a positive ion, which is called an anion. (pronounced an-ion)
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.
What do you call a reaction where a substance has gained oxygen?

How do you figure out if a reaction is an oxidation or reduction reaction?
OIL RIG Oxidation is Loss Reduction is Gain... That's all I know =)
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.
What is short for oxidation-reduction?
redox
What is short for oxidation reduction?
"Redox"
What are tranafered in a oxidation reduction?
Electrons.
