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 :
Oxidation-Reduction Reactions. Redox reactions are comprised of two parts, a reduced half and an oxidized half, that always occur together. The reduced half gains electrons and the oxidation number decreases, while the oxidized half loses electrons and the oxidation number increases.
