Answer:

The reactions in which oxidation and reduction reactions occur simultaneously are called redox reactions. The redox reactions are electron transfer reactions.

For example, consider the following redox reaction.

Zn+Cu

2+

→Zn

2+

+Cu

Zn atom loses two electrons. Hence, it is oxidised to Zn(II) ions.

Cu(II) ion gain two electrons. Hence, it is reduced to Cu atom.
