Redox is a type of chemical reaction in which the oxidation states of atoms are changed. Redox reactions are characterized by the actual or formal transfer of electrons between chemical species, most often with one species undergoing oxidation while another species undergoes reduction. An oxidation-reduction reaction is any chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a molecule, atom, or ion changes by gaining or losing an electron. An example of a redox reaction is the formation of hydrogen fluoride. To study the oxidation and reduction of reactants, we should break the reaction down. Let's know more about Redox Reactions.
