Oxidation can be defined as: • gain of oxygen• loss of hydrogen• loss of electrons• increase in oxidation number.
Reduction can be defined as: • loss of oxygen• gain of hydrogen• gain of electrons• decrease in oxidation number.
A redox reaction is a reaction that involves both oxidation and reduction.
