Redox, short for reduction-oxidation, refers to a class of chemical reactions in which the oxidation states of atoms are changed. These reactions involve the transfer of electrons between species, leading to the oxidation of one substance and the reduction of another. - **Oxidation** is the process where an atom or molecule loses electrons, resulting in an increase in oxidation state. - **Reduction** is the process where an atom or molecule gains electrons, resulting in a decrease in oxidation state.
