Oxidation-reduction, also known as redox, is a type of chemical reaction where the oxidation states of atoms are changed. Oxidation is the process of losing electrons, while reduction is the process of gaining electrons. These two processes always occur simultaneously in a redox reaction, with the oxidizing agent (the substance that causes oxidation) being reduced and the reducing agent (the substance that causes reduction) being oxidized.
The concept of oxidation and reduction can be understood using the concept of oxidation states, which are
In a redox reaction, the oxidation state of one or more atoms in a molecule changes. The
Redox reactions are important in many areas of chemistry, including electrochemistry, organic chemistry, and biochemistry. They
