Explanation:
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.
ex:Removal of oxygen: Metal ores which are oxides are reduced to the metal - this is how iron is made from iron ore. The reducing agent is carbon monoxide. Copper oxide can be reduced to copper by heating it while passing hydrogen gas over it
