Oxidation and Reduction reactions - Chemistry

Redox Reactions The term oxidation was originally used to describe reactions in which an element combines with oxygen Example: The reaction between magnesium

oxidation products, most methods measure only one kind of oxidation product For the quality control of food products and for better understanding of the

oxidation Oxidation number, the total number of electrons that an atom either gains or loses in order to form a chemical bond with another atom

oxidation This oxidation reaction is chemically paired with a reduction reaction—what chemists refer to as redox reactions When one atom loses
