hey there!
_____________________
✓Their will be either Addition of oxygen in an element or removal of hydrogen.
✓ Let's say Copper is reacted with oxygen to form copper oxide.
In the this reaction:
Cu + O2 -> CuO
Since oxygen is added, it is an oxidation reaction.
Similarly, if hydrogen is reduced from a compound, it is then called reduction reaction.
✓ Both the reactions are together called REDOX reactions
✓ You can use this identification for a redox reaction.

masteromri:
I don't understand. Can you please make it more clear
For eg: Find whether this reaction is a redox: H2 + Cl2=2HCl
How can i find that?
Thanks Man, you are an angel

Oxidation:-
Addition of oxygen
Removal of hydrogen
Increase in oxidation number
Loosing of electron
Addition of electronegative element
Reduction :-
opposite to all the above points

Please reply
reduction reaction
oxidation does not takes place
nope sry i calculated and its redox Rn
hydrogen oxidize with +1 and chlorine reduce with -1
