- Redox reaction is the reaction in which oxidation and reduction occur simultaneously.
Key Points
- Oxidation is the gain of oxygen and Reduction is the loss of oxygen.
- Redox reactions are common and vital to some of the basic functions of life, including photosynthesis, respiration, combustion, and corrosion or rusting.
Additional Information
- Types of Redox Reactions: There are different types of redox reactions are:
- Combination reactions
- Decomposition reactions
- Displacement reactions
- Disproportionation reactions
