Answer 2

Answer:

->

• The term oxidation was originally used to describe reactions in which an element combines with oxygen. Example: The reaction between magnesium metal and oxygen to form magnesium oxide involves the oxidation of magnesium. ... In the course of this reaction, each magnesium atom loses two electrons to form an Mg2+ ion.

• Reduction is a chemical reaction that involves the gaining of electrons by one of the atoms involved in the reaction between two chemicals. The term refers to the element that accepts electrons, as the oxidation state of the element that gains electrons is lowered. ... This is called redox.
