Hola mate!! here is ur ans:

Oxidation occurs when a reactant loses electrons during the reaction. Reduction occurs when a reactant gains electrons during the reaction. This often occurs when metals are reacted with acid.

Oxidation vs. Reduction

  • Reduction and oxidation occur simultaneously in a type of chemical reaction called a reduction-oxidation or redox reaction.

  • The oxidized species loses electrons, while the reduced species gains electrons.

  • Despite the name, oxygen need not be present in an oxidation reaction.

Answer:

OXIDATION:

  1. IN OXIDATION REACTANTS COMBINE WITH OXYGEN OR LOSE HYDROGEN TO FORM PRODUCTS
  2. OXIDATION MEANS LOOSING ELECTRONS
  3. IN OXIDATION THE NET POSITIVE CHARGE ON AN ATOM INCREASES AND NET NEGATIVE CHARGE DECREASES

REDUCTION

  1. IN REDUCTION REACTANTS COMBINE WITH HYDROGEN OR LOOSE OXYGEN TO FORM PRODUCTS
  2. REDUCTION MEANS GAINING ELECTRONS
  3. IN REDUCTION THE NET NEGATIVE CHARGE ON AN ATOM INCREASES WHILE NET POSITIVE CHARGE DECREASES.

SO IN THIS WAY OXIDATION IS DIFFERENT FROM REDUCTION

hope it helps
