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.
Oxidation-Reduction Reactions. Redox reactions are comprised of two parts, a reduced half and an oxidized half, that always occur together. The reduced half gains electrons and the oxidation number decreases, while the oxidized half loses electrons and the oxidation number increases.
