It can be defined as:
The process in which oxygen is added to a substance.
Or
The process in which a substance loses electron(s).
Or
The process in which a substance loses electron(s).
e.g.
Copper + Oxygen Copper oxide
Hydrogen + Oxygen Suphur + Hydrogen oxide
Sulphide
Zinc
It is defined as:
The process in which oxygen is removed from a substance.
Or
The process in which hydrogen is added to a substance.
Or
The process in which a substance gains electron(s).
e.g.
Potassium Potassium Oxygen
Chlorate chloride
Sodium + Hydrogen Sodium hydride
Zinc
If a substance gains oxygen during a reaction, it is said to be oxidised. If a substance loses oxygen during a reaction, it is said to be reduced.
Those reactions in which oxidation and reduction take place simultaneously, are called redox reactions.
e.g.
(i) In the following reaction, the copper (II) oxide is losing oxygen and is being reduced. Whereas, oxygen is added to hydrogen and is being oxidised.
Copper oxide + Hydrogen Copper + Water
(ii) In the following reaction HCl is oxidised to whereas,
is reduced to
(Conc.)
The substance which oxidizes elements or compound is known as an oxidizing agent.
(i) Oxygen is an oxidizing agent. It oxidises iron (Fe) to ferric oxide
(ii) Potassium permanganate solution is an oxidizing agent. It oxidizes ferrous suphate to ferric sulphate.
The substance which reduces compounds is known as a reducing agent.
(i) Hydrogen is a reducing agent. It reduces cupric oxide to copper (Cu).
Cupric oxide + Hydrogen copper + water
(ii) Stannous chloride is a reducing agent. It reduces ferric chloride to ferrous chloride.
