Change in oxidation number

Changes in oxidation number are central to redox reactions, where oxidation refers to the process of an element losing electrons, resulting in an increase in its oxidation number, and reduction refers to the process of an element gaining electrons, leading to a decrease in its oxidation number. To balance redox reactions, it is necessary to ensure the conservation of electrons and charges, which is usually achieved through the half-reaction method.
