Reduction is the gain of electrons or a decrease in the oxidation state of a chemical or atoms within it.
Reduction is a half-reaction in which a chemical species reduces its oxidation number by gaining electrons.
A reduction reaction is a chemical reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this process, the oxidation state of the substance is decreased. Reduction reactions often occur in conjunction with oxidation reactions, which involve the loss of electrons, and together they are referred to as redox (reduction-oxidation) reactions.
In a reduction reaction:
-The substance that gains electrons is reduced.
-The electrons are typically transferred from another substance, which is oxidized.
