Answer 2

Oxidation and reduction are the two half reactions of redox reactions. A redox reaction is a chemical reaction that occurs through the electron exchange between atoms. The main difference between oxidation and reduction is that oxidation is the increasing of oxidation state of an atom whereas reduction is the decreasing of the oxidation state of an atom.
