Oxidative reactions involve a chemical reaction in which one or more electrons are transferred from one substance to another. This process typically involves the transfer of oxygen atoms or molecules, leading to oxidation of the substance being reacted with. Oxidative reactions play a critical role in various biological processes, such as metabolism, as well as in industrial processes, such as the production of chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Understanding and controlling oxidative reactions is essential for developing new technologies and products in a variety of fields.
