The types of reactions which use oxygen and hydrogen are oxidation and reduction.
Oxidation is the addition of oxygen to a substance
2Cu + O2 = 2CuO (Copper is oxidized)
Reduction is the removal of oxygen from a substance
Zn + CuO = ZnO + Cu (CuO is reduced)
Oxidation is the removal of hydrogen from a substance
CH4 + 2O2 = CO2 + 2H2O (Carbon is oxidized)
Reduction is the addition of hydrogen to a substance
CO + H2 = CH3OH (CO is reduced)
