Can the reaction `Cr_(2)O_(7)^(2-)+H_(2)O rarr 2CrO_(4)^(2-)+2H^(+)` be regarded as a redox reaction?

Explanation

To determine whether the reaction

\[ \text{Cr}_2\text{O}_7^{2-} + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow 2\text{CrO}_4^{2-} + 2\text{H}^+ \]

can be regarded as a redox reaction, we need to analyze the oxidation states of the elements involved in the reaction.
