An oxidation half-reaction
The redox reaction is split into its oxidation part and its reduction part.
Either oxidation or reduction but never both at the same time
I'm not completely certain about this but I'm convinced that an anode actually loses mass. For example, in the cell equations for an Ag(s) cathode being dipped into an AgNO3 solution, connected to a Cu(s) anode being dipped into a Cu(NO3)2 solition, 2Ag+(aq) + 2e- -> 2Ag(s) (Cathode 1/2 reaction, reduction) Cu(s) -> Cu2+(aq) +2e- (Anode 1/2 reaction, oxidation) , the cathode reaction is taking the Ag+(aq) ions in the AgNO3- solution and turning them into solid silver, Ag(s). Therefore, I believe it is correct to assume that solid silver is being formed in the cathode solution. The anode half reaction however is the opposite, taking a solid copper atom, Cu(s), and turning it into an aqueous copper cation, Cu2+(aq). This leads me to believe that the copper rod (anode) is losing mass. So, I believe the cathode is gaining mass and the anode is losing mass.
Meiosis produces gametes which have half the number of chromosomes that other cells of the body have.
Mg(s) Mg2+ + 2e-
MgCl2 aq plus Zn s is the oxidation half-reaction for Mg s plus ZnCl2 aq.
MgO + 2HCl --> MgCl2 + H2O
Zn(s) --> Zn2+(aq) + 2e : Oxidation Cu+(aq) + 1e --> Cu(s) : Reduction

An oxidation half-reaction
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.
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.
