Answer:
Reduction is a gain of electrons, oxidation is a loss of electrons, and electron transfer reactions are also called redox reactions. Reduction is a gain of electrons. The added electrons "reduce" the oxidation state of the substance. Cu2+ ions gain two electrons, so they are reduced to Cu atoms.
