Document Summary

A redox reaction is a reaction that involves a transfer of electrons from one reaction to another. This is done by a change in the oxidation state of one or more of the reactants. A redox reaction is always broken down into 2 half reactions which involve both reactants and products of the same element. In the oxidation reaction, the negatively charged element become the same element of a neutral charge. In the reduction reaction, the neutrally charged element becomes negatievly charged. These reactions combined are what cause the electrons to transfer and are what compose the redox reaction. Oxidation is the half reaction when electrons disappear. Reduction is the half reaction when the electrons appear. Some of the reactant is oxidized, some is reduced.
