5. describes the degree of oxidation (loss of electrons) of an atom in a chemical compound

2. A type of chemical reaction that involves a transfer of electrons between two species.
3. A substance that has the ability to oxidize other substances.
4. part of a reduction-oxidation (redox) reaction in which atoms have their oxidation state changed
6. Any reaction that doesn't have at least one atom that increases in oxidation number.
7. occurs when an electron relocates from an atom or molecule to another such chemical entity
