67-74.

But now we know plenty of oxidation reactions that don't involve oxygen, like the formation of lead trees from zinc and lead nitrate solution. The zinc atoms have no electrical charge. Lead nitrate solution,

on the other hand, consists of positively-charged lead ions and negatively-charged nitrate ions moving about in water. Zinc is more reactive than lead, which means it more readily gives up its electrons. So the zinc atoms lose their electrons to the lead ions. This turns the zinc atoms into positive ions, which move into solution, and the lead ions into lead atoms, which form beautiful metal crystals as they come out of solution. This is an oxidation reaction, too.

75-85.

The zinc has been oxidized because it lost electrons. But one atom's loss is another another's gain. And gain of electrons is called "reduction." So with burning magnesium, oxygen is reduced as magnesium is oxidized. And when lead trees form, lead is reduced as zinc is oxidized. Oxidation and reduction are really just different aspects of the same thing. So we mix the words together and call the combination "redox reactions." Redox reactions are reactions that involve the transfer of electrons.
