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.
