Question

Name the reaction in which one of the reacting species loses electrons while the other gains electrons.

Answer 1

Both Reduction and oxidation reactions are species loses electrons while the other gains electrons.

The electron which are found in the oxidation reaction become same electron which obtain in the reduction reaction.

Hence most reaction call as half reaction and over reaction is called as the redox.

Answer 2

Redox

Only in this process reacting species loss electron while other than electron
