Redox Reaction

Redox Reaction: Reduction-Oxidation Reaction

Redox reaction is the abbreviation for reduction-oxidation reaction and is a chemical reaction. In this process, electrons are transferred from one reactant to the other. Thus, there is an electron donation (oxidation) by one substance and an electron acceptance (reduction) by the other substance.

Redox reactions are of great importance in chemistry because, for example, many metabolic processes are also based on such electron transfer reactions.
