In chemistry, metathesis is used to describe reactions that interchange atoms or groups of atoms between molecules. When at least one atom undergoes a change in oxidation state, the reaction is an oxidation-reduction reaction.
The term RedOx comes from the two processes that occur during a reaction: REDuction and OXidation. These reactions occur together, they cannot occur separately. Oxidation is the term given to the process of gain/addition of electrons from another compound, ion, or atom.Because the oxidizing substance removes electrons from another substance, which are then added to itself, the oxidizing substance becomes âreducedâ (more negative).eduction is the term given to the process of loss/removal of electrons, which are given to another compound, atom, or ion. Because the reducing substance gives electrons to another substance it becomes âoxidizedâ itself (more positive). And because it âdonatesâ electrons it is called an electron donor.
