In the reaction between magnesium (Mg) and zinc chloride (ZnCl₂), magnesium is oxidized. The oxidation half-reaction can be written as:
[ \text{Mg} \rightarrow \text{Mg}^{2+} + 2\text{e}^- ]
This shows that magnesium loses two electrons as it is converted into magnesium ions.
The anode electrode loses loses electron and oxidation half reaction occurs at it.
Reversing the equation gives the oxidation half reaction. Doing this changes the sign on the voltage, not the magnitude.
They make it easier to see the oxidation and reduction parts of the reaction separately.
Half-reactions show the flow of electrons during a redox reaction. They separate the oxidation and reduction processes, making it easier to balance chemical equations and determine the overall cell potential.

Zn^2+ + 2e- ––> Zn(s)
The half-reaction for this redox reaction could be written as: Zn(s) -> Zn2+(aq) + 2e-. This indicates the oxidation of solid zinc (Zn) to zinc ions (Zn2+) and the release of 2 electrons.
It is the zinc that gets reduced, and the magnesium that gets oxidised. This is because zinc has the higher reduction potential of -0,76 V, compared to magnesiums -2,37 V. The oxidation half cell therefore becomes Mg (s) --> Mg2++ 2e-

The balanced half reaction for the oxidation of hydrogen peroxide is: 2H2O2 - O2 2H 2e-
Cl2 + 2Cu --> 2CuCl Oxidation reaction is Cu --> Cu+ + 1e Reduction reaction is Cl + 1e --> Cl- Redox reaction is Cu + Cl --> Cu+ + Cl-
The anode electrode loses loses electron and oxidation half reaction occurs at it.
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.
