Oxidation is the process in which a substance gains oxygen or loses hydrogen. Reduction is the process in which a substance gains hydrogen or loses oxygen. The reaction in which one reactant gets oxidised and the other reactant or the same reactant gets reduced is called as oxidation-reduction reaction or redox reaction. Oxidation and reduction reactions always occur simultaneously.
