A redox reaction is a type of electrochemical reaction where oxidation and reduction occur simultaneously. Redox is the short form for “reduction and oxidation”.
According to it oxidation is defined as ‘addition of oxygen or an electronegative element to a substance (or) removal of hydrogen (or) an electropositive element from a substance’.
Reduction is the opposite of oxidation. Reduction can be defined as‘ removal of oxygen (or) an electronegative element from a substance or addition of hydrogen (or) an electropositive element to a substance’.
Thus according to the classical concept, redox reactions can be defined as” the reactions in which both oxidation and reduction takes place simultaneously”.
