How do oxidation and reduction reactions occur?
Accepted Answer
Oxidation involves the loss of electrons from a substance, while reduction involves the gain of electrons. These reactions often occur simultaneously, with one substance being oxidized and another being reduced. Oxidation-reduction reactions play key roles in energy production, corrosion, and biological processes such as cellular respiration.
