Oxidation reactions oxidation: combination of the element with oxygen to yield an oxide (process in which elements oxidation number is increased) 0- - - - - >+3 reduction: removal of oxygen from one oxide to yield the element (process in which elements oxidation number is decreased) loss of o; adds h+ions; gain of e- . 4fe x (3e/fe)=12e total # of e- given up = oxidized total # of e- gained = reduced. Reducing agent cause reductions loses electrons undergoes oxidation. Oxidizing agent (picks up o) causes oxidation gains electrons undergoes reduction. Redox can be broken into two parts (half rxns) =reduction each is separated and then balance.
