angle for consistency Introduction: Redox reactions occur when both oxidation and reduction take place. All atoms can be assigned an oxidation number‚ which is a positive or negative number that help in determining the reducing and/or oxidizing agents in an equation. An increase in the oxidation number of an atom from one side of an equation to another side indicates oxidation. A decrease in the oxidation number of an atom indicates reduction. For example: 2AgNO3 + Cu Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag In this equation
