Redox Reaction

A redox reaction is a chemical process involving the transfer of electrons between substances. It consists of two parts: oxidation, where a substance loses electrons, and reduction, where another gains those electrons. This electron transfer often results in changes like color, energy release, or new substances forming. Redox reactions are fundamental to many natural and industrial processes, including how our bodies generate energy, how batteries work, and how metals corrode. Understanding redox reactions helps explain how chemicals interact and transform during these processes.
