A chemical reaction in which electrons are transferred from a donor to an acceptor molecule or atom.A chemical interaction in which one substance is oxidized and loses electrons, and thus is increased in positive valence, while another substance gains an equal number of electrons by being reduced and thus is decreased in positive valence. This is called a redox system or reaction.
