redoksmuutuse
Redoksmuutuse, also known as a redox reaction, is a type of chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons between two species. This electron transfer results in a change in the oxidation states of the atoms involved. One species loses electrons, undergoing oxidation, while another species gains electrons, undergoing reduction. The term "redox" is a portmanteau of reduction and oxidation.
Oxidation is defined as the loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state. Reduction is defined
Examples of redox reactions are abundant in chemistry and biology. The rusting of iron, the combustion of
