Redox is a type of chemical reaction in which the oxidation states of a reactant change.Oxidation is the loss of electrons or an increase in the oxidation state, while reduction is the gain of electrons or a decrease in the oxidation state.
There are two classes of redox reactions:
Electron-transfer: Only one (usually) electron flows from the atom, ion or molecule being oxidized to the atom, ion, or molecule that is reduced.
