Ideas in this flowchart

  • Oxidation–reduction reactions involve electron transfer.
  • Oxidation occurs when an element loses electrons.
  • Reduction occurs when an element gains electrons.
  • Oxidation and reduction occur together.
  • Electrons transferred during oxidation must be accepted by another substance.
  • Iron and manganese commonly lose electrons.
  • Oxygen and nitrate commonly accept electrons as oxidizing agents.

"Oxidation occurs when an element loses electrons, while reduction occurs when an element gains electrons. These reactions occur together because electrons transferred during oxidation must be accepted by another substance. Iron and manganese commonly lose electrons, while oxygen and nitrate commonly act as oxidizing agents that accept electrons."
