Answer:

  • Redox is a type of chemical reaction in which the oxidation states of atoms are changed. Redox reactions are characterized by the actual or formal transfer of electrons between chemical species, most often with one species undergoing oxidation while another species undergoes reduction.

Explanation:

  • Biology
  • BiologyThe act of decreasing or reducing something. ... Any process in which electrons are added to an atom or ion (as by removing oxygen or adding hydrogen); always occurs accompanied by oxidation of the reducing agent. The act of reducing complexity
  • Number
  • NumberOxidation numbers are used to keep track of electrons in atoms. There are rules for assigning oxidation numbers to atoms. Oxidation is an increase in oxidation number (loss of electrons); reduction is a decrease in oxidation number (gain of electrons).
  • Degrees
  • DegreesThe oxidation state, sometimes referred to as oxidation number, describes the degree of oxidation (loss of electrons) of an atom in a chemical compound. ... The oxidation state of an atom does not represent the "real" formal charge on that atom, or any other actual atomic property.
  • Agent
  • AgentAn oxidizing agent, or oxidant, gains electrons and is reduced in a chemical reaction. ... A reducing agent, or reductant, loses electrons and is oxidized in a chemical reaction. A reducing agent is typically in one of its lower possible oxidation states, and is known as the electron donor.
