In chemistry, metathesis is used to describe reactions that interchange atoms or groups of atoms between molecules. When at least one atom undergoes a change in oxidation state, the reaction is an oxidation-reduction reaction.
Redox reactions include all chemical reactions in which atoms have their oxidation state changed; in general, redox reactions involve the transfer of electrons between chemical species. The chemical species from which the electron is stripped is said to have been oxidized, while the chemical species to which the electron is added is said to have been reduced.
