Their oxidation states have changed
if oxidation states change, it is a redox reaction
Electrons are transferred between atoms -APEX
In a redox reaction the OXIDATION numbers of some of the elements change from the reactants to the products. The numbers of atoms each element never changes in any chemical reaction.

Any reaction that doesn't have at least one atom that increases in oxidation number during the reaction and at least one atom that decreases in oxidation number during the reaction is not a redox reaction. The atom that decreases and the atom that increases can be atoms of the same element. Examples: 2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O ( Atoms of elements have an oxidation number of 0, so that the hydrogen atoms change from 0 to +1, which is oxidation, while the oxygen atoms change from 0 to -2, which is reduction. So the reaction is a redox reaction.) An example of a reaction in which atoms of the same element undergo both oxidation and reduction is: 2 MnO4- (aq) + 5 Mn (s) + 16 H+ (aq) -> 7 Mn+2 (aq) + 4 H2O (l). (In this reaction, 2 manganese atoms change from +7 to +2, which is reduction, and 5 manganese atoms change from 0 to +2, which is oxidation. ) An example of a non-redox reaction is Pb(NO3)2 (aq) + Na2SO4 (aq) ---> 2 NaNO3 (aq) + PbSO (s). (No atom changes its oxidation state in this reaction.)

Yummy, Chemistry :) Redox reactions - Oxidation reaction This is a reaction in which atoms have undergone a change in their oxidation state.
Electrons are transferred between atoms -APEX
When electrons are transferred in a reaction, it is referred to oxidation/reduction or redox.
To complete the balanced redox reaction, you simplify the equation by removing common elements on both sides.

A browning banana is a redox reaction.

A single displacement reaction is always a redox reaction, buta double displacement reaction is not a redox reaction.
