Answer 1

Answer:

Reduction involves a half-reaction in which a chemical species decreases its oxidation number, usually by gaining electrons.

Answer 2

Answer:

In Chemistry, it is referred to as the loss of oxygen when it is with respect to the oxygen transfer. It is the job of the reducing agent to remove the oxygen from another substance.

Similarly, in the case of hydrogen transfer, it is the gain of hydrogen. That means it is reducing agent’s work to remove oxygen from one substance and hydrogen to it.
