Reduction is the loss of oxygen atom from a molecule or the gaining of one or more electrons. A reduction reaction is seen from the point of view of the molecule being reduced, as when one molecule gets reduced another gets oxidised. The full reaction is known as a Redox reaction. This is a good way of remembering it.
This can be remembered with the term OIL RIG when speaking about electrons.
Oxidation Is LossReduction Is Gain
In the case of Organic Chemistry it is usually the case of the gaining/loss of Oxygen/Hydrogen
In Inorganic Chemistry the term refers to the change in oxidation state of the metal center.
Oxidation is a process where a substanceLoses one or more electronsGains an oxygen atom or Electronegative atomsLoses a hydrogen atom or Electropositive atomsGains an increase in its oxidation numberReduction is the opposite!
