Answer:

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. The formation of hydrogen fluoride is an example of a redox reaction. We can break the reaction down to analyze the oxidation and reduction of reactants.

Explanation:

Oxidation is the gain of oxygen.

Reduction is the loss of oxygen.

For example, in the extraction of iron from its ore:

Fe203+3co------2fe+ 3co2

Because both reduction and oxidation are occurring simultaneously, this is known as a redox reaction.
