What happens to electrons during an oxidation reduction reaction

A redox (reduction-oxidation) reaction involves transfer of electrons between two species.

Oxidation reaction involves loss of electrons and the species undergoing oxidation is termed as a reducing agent. Here loss of electrons is accompanied by an increase in the oxidation state/oxidation number.

Reduction reactions proceed via gain of electrons, the one undergoing reduction which is termed as an oxidising agent. Here the gain of electrons is accompanied by decrease in the oxidation state/oxidation number of that particular species.

The correct answer as to which would be most useful in trying to obtain procedural information to replicate an experiment previously published would be a peer-reviewed journal article.

A peer-reviewed journal article is a journal article written by an expert or experts on a particular topic and has undergone thorough reviews by experts in the same field and certified to be of good-enough standards to be published.

Such an article would contain all the necessary information relating to the experiment leading to the article. Hence, in order to obtain procedural information to replicate an experiment that has been previously published, a peer-reviewed journal published on the same topic would do be the right place to seek.
