Oxidation is the loss of electrons from an atom, while reduction is the gain of electrons by an atom. In a reaction these two processes occur together so that one element or compound gains electrons while the other element or compound loses electrons. This is why we call this a redox reaction. It is a short way of saying reduction-oxidation reaction .
