Answer:
Oxidation is the loss of electrons during a reaction by a molecule, atom or ion.
eg-When a copper wire is placed into a solution that contains silver ions, electrons are transferred from the copper metal to the silver ions. The copper metal is oxidized.
Reduction is the gain of electrons during a reaction by a molecule atom or ion.
eg-The copper ion undergoes reduction by gaining electrons to form copper.
