yes it is, it might be useful to know OILRIG: oxidation is loss , reduction is gain (of electrons)
It needs to lose, or gain, electrons.
Metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.
Oil RIG stands for "Oxidation is Loss, Reduction is Gain." It is a way to remember that in a redox reaction, oxidation involves the loss of electrons and reduction involves the gain of electrons.
The loss or gain of electrons
For example metals loss electrons and nonmetals gain electrons.

The loss or gain of electrons
Cations are formed by the loss of electrons, anions are formed by the gain of electrons. The force of attraction between cations and anions results in ionic bond.
There is zero NET loss or gain of electrons
