fe(+2) + 2e- --> Fe
MgO + 2HCl --> MgCl2 + H2O
Reversing the equation gives the oxidation half reaction. Doing this changes the sign on the voltage, not the magnitude.
They show the oxidation an reduction halves of a reaction
Oxidant half reaction: MnO4- + 8 H+ + 5e- --> Mn2+ + 4 H2O
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.

An oxidation half-reaction
A redox half reaction is a reduction or an oxidation reaction. He half reaction does not occur by itself it much be coupled so that he electron released for another to be accepted.
