1 Redox reactions may involve the transfer of electrons between chemical species. 2  The reaction that occurs when In which I 2 is reduced to I-and S 2 O 3 2- (thiosulfate anion) is oxidized to S 4 O 6 2- provides an example of a redox reaction :
Redox reactions: reduction-oxidation reactions. The gain of electrons during achemical reaction is called Reduction. The loss of electrons during a chemical reaction is called Oxidation. Glucose is oxidized to 6CO 2 and O 2 is reduced to 6H 2 O during cellular respiration. During cellular respiration, glucose loses electrons and H, and O 2 gains them.
