Its a type of redox reaction in which a species reduced and oxidized simultaneously i.e. same element reduce and oxidise , to form two different products.
Example: Chlorine gas reacts with dilute sodium<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_hydroxide" title="Sodium hydroxide"> </a>hydroxide to form sodium chloride, sodium chlorate and water.
{tex}3 Cl_2 + 6 OH^− \to 5 Cl^− + ClO_3^ − + 3 H_2O{/tex}
The chlorine gas reactant is in oxidation state 0. In the products, the chlorine in the Cl− ion has an oxidation number of −1, having been reduced, whereas the oxidation number of the chlorine in the ClO3 − ion is +5, indicating that it has been oxidized.
