Definition Reduction can be defined in different terms: as a gain of electrons or hydrogen or the loss of oxygen by an atom or a molecule. Overview Reduction in Terms of Electron Transfer Reduction is the gain of electrons. For example, in the reaction between iron and copper sulfate ...
While the first two definitions of oxidation-reduction are correct, the most useful definition is the third - involving the gain or loss of electrons. I will use this particular definition for the rest of our discussion. How do we know whether or not an element has gained or lost electrons...
Historically, the loss of weight upon heating metallic ore to extract the metal due to loss of oxygen was called reduction. Later scientists discovered and explained that the metal atom gains electrons in this process. Thus, the meaning of reduction was generalized as process involving gain of el...
Oxygen has an oxidation number of -2 unless it is combined with fluorine, when it is +2, or it is in a peroxide such as H2O2, when it is -1. Ex. The oxidation of O in NO2 is -2. Rule 6 The oxidation state of hydrogen in most of its compounds is +1 unless it is combined...

Red mud is the waste of bauxite refinement into alumina, the feedstock for aluminium production1. With about 180 million tonnes produced per year1, red mud has amassed to one of the largest environmentally hazardous waste products, with the staggering amount of 4 billion tonnes accumulated on...
Currently, iron ore reduction is mainly based on carbon as an energy source and reducing agent, but hydrogen can also be employed as an effective reduction agent [7]. Nevertheless, the kinetic analysis of reduction results complex because it is a two-step mechanism below 570 °C and a three...
