Answer:
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.

A "Redox reaction" is a type of chemical reaction in which both oxidation and reduction of the reactants takes place simultaneously.
Eg - Reaction between Copper(II) oxide (CuO) and Hydrogen (H2) to give Copper (Cu) and water (H2O).
CuO + H2 ------> Cu + H2O
In the above reaction, it can be clearly observed that Copper(II) oxide (CuO) is being reduced and Hydrogen (H2) is being oxidised.
Thus, this is a Redox reaction.
