All of our events are sanctioned by the USA Triathlon. The USAT is the sanctioning authority for more than 4,300 events across the nation.
1 Redox reactions may involve the transfer of electrons between chemical species. 2  The reaction that occurs when In which I 2 is reduced to I-and S 2 O 3 2- (thiosulfate anion) is oxidized to S 4 O 6 2- provides an example of a redox reaction :
Redox reactions include all chemical reactions in which atoms have their oxidation state changed; in general, redox reactions involve the transfer of electrons between species. The term redox comes from two concepts involved with electron transfer: reduction and oxidation. It can be explained in simple terms: 1  Oxidation is the loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state by a molecule, atom, or ion. 2  Reduction is the gain of electrons or a decrease in oxidation state by a molecule, atom, or ion.
