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:
- IN OXIDATION REACTANTS COMBINE WITH OXYGEN OR LOSE HYDROGEN TO FORM PRODUCTS
- OXIDATION MEANS LOOSING ELECTRONS
- IN OXIDATION THE NET POSITIVE CHARGE ON AN ATOM INCREASES AND NET NEGATIVE CHARGE DECREASES
REDUCTION
- IN REDUCTION REACTANTS COMBINE WITH HYDROGEN OR LOOSE OXYGEN TO FORM PRODUCTS
- REDUCTION MEANS GAINING ELECTRONS
- 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
