Question

Is a reaction considered redox if only oxidation is taking place in it?

Answer 1

Answer:

Both must occur together for it to be a redox reaction, but if only one occurred it would be called an "oxidation half-reaction" or a "reduction half-reaction." Finding these "half reactions" are often essential to solve a redox reaction problem, but they are NOT redox reactions themselves...
