Reaction comprises of oxidation and reduction is called redox reaction.Redox reactions are comprised of two parts, a reduced half and an oxidized half, that always occur together.
Simple ways to remember is keywords OIL RIG, meaning "oxidation is loss" and "reduction is gain,"
An oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction is a type of chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons between two species. An oxidation-reduction reaction is any chemical reaction in which the oxidation number of a molecule, atom, or ion changes by gaining or losing an electron.
