Oxidation and Reduction

Oxidation and reduction reactions are important types of reactions in chemistry.

Oxidation

Oxidation

  • An oxidation reaction involves gaining oxygen.
    • Oxidation reactions can also involve losing electrons.
  • E.g. when metals react with oxygen, metal oxides are produced:
    • Calcium + oxygen → calcium oxide
    • 2Ca + O2 → 2CaO
Reduction

Reduction

  • A reduction reaction involves losing oxygen.
    • Reduction reactions can also involve gaining electrons.
  • E.g. when metal oxides lose oxygen and return to their atomic form:
    • Iron oxide + carbon monoxide → iron + carbon dioxide
    • Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2
